Why it is funny

The first half runs on slang used in the wrong place, and the reader thinks that is the whole joke. The real turn is where Dad learned it, and the last line turns a laugh at Dad into something tender.

How to make it yours

Slang goes stale faster than a video goes out, so put in the words your audience uses right now. Leave the ending with the like alone: it turns the laugh into warmth, and that is why people watch to the end.

Every chat here is fiction. Any resemblance to real people is coincidental.

Turn a funny chat into a video

A funny conversation lands well in a short vertical video. Pick how the chat should look, or send the script to the bot and get a finished MP4.
