A kid is watching TV and sees an ad about adopting an animal. He then turns to his mother and says, “Do we have to adopt a donkey?” “No,” replied the mom, “but we decided to do it... we adopted you.”
The Adopted Kid

Explanation
Experiment
This is a dark joke because it implies that the kid is being compared to an adopted animal, specifically a donkey, and therefore might be unwanted or less valued. The humor comes from the unexpected twist and the absurdity of the situation where the child is treated as an adoption option rather than a member of the family. It's a pretty morbid take on adoption.
