Hold humour Part 15 – being grumpy

Hi everyone, welcome to the 15th edition of awful jokes as part of the Hold Humour distraction project in the COPE campaign.

It’s been noted at home that I’ve been a bit…grumpy…lately. Now, I could blame it on a million things…lack of sleep is probably the favourite, but at the end of the day my attitude is my own, and I need to take responsibility for it. As a result, I’m currently actively working on my grumpiness/happiness balance, and trying to breathe before I react to things.

I’m growing.

To manage my need to be grumpy without bothering people I love, I thought I’d channel my needs into jokes instead. Here are a few I’ve found. I hope they raise a smile, and remove any misery.

**********

Joke 1

My partner asked me if I always wake up grumpy.
I told him I usually let him sleep in.

Joke 2

A recent survey showed that 6 out of 7 of Snow Whites dwarves were not Happy.

Joke 3

Q: What do you call a loaf of grumpy bread?

A: Sourdough!

Joke 4

Q: What’s the difference between a miserable 2-year-old and a duckling?

A: One’s a whiny toddler and the other’s a tiny waddler!

Joke 5

My friend thinks he’s clever. He told me that onions are the only food that makes you cry, so I threw a coconut at his head. (not grumpy, but made me smile 🙄)

Remember if you need more distractions then there are more jokes on my Hold Humour page, as well as haikus on Haiku Hope, awful poems on Crap Poems and odd language in Weird Words. I also have a page dedicated to stress hacks and other ideas to try if you need a distraction within the COPE campaign section of this website.

If you need help with stress or your mental health then you can find useful information and contact details for organisations that can help on the Get Support and Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Support Lines pages on this site.

Remember, you are not alone.

Thanks for visiting ❤️
