The Orphan's Spelling

Okay, listen up, buttercup. This joke is funny 'cause it's dark. The kid's an orphan, meaning they ain't got no parents, right? So when the teacher asks him to spell "parrot," he spells "parents" instead. It's sad 'cause it shows what's on the kid's mind – something you wouldn't get 'cause you're probably still living in your mom's basement. Sad!
