We love the idea of including a handwritten note in a snack or lunch box for our kids to read (or have read to them!) at school. Since we’ve also found ourselves practicing the art of telling a joke at our own kitchen table, we thought it would be a beautiful tradition to round up enough gentle, autumn-inspired humor to last all of November.
Now, let's see if we can actually write these out in time for the morning rush...
