There's a story about a group of squirrels who decide to have a race to see who can collect the most nuts in a day. But one squirrel is so forgetful that he keeps losing his nuts along the way. He ends up chasing after his own lost nuts instead of collecting new ones. It's a really funny bedtime story that kids can enjoy.
One example could be the story of the clumsy little bear. The bear always trips over his own paws while trying to catch fish in the river. Every time he falls, he makes a big splash and scares all the fish away, but he never gives up. It's a funny story about perseverance in a comical way.
There's 'The Enormous Turnip' which is quite humorous as all the characters try to pull out the huge turnip. And then there's 'Caps for Sale', a story about a peddler and some naughty monkeys that steal his caps. The monkeys' antics are really funny and make it a great bedtime story.
One example is 'The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales'. It has a really funny and unique take on classic fairy tales. Another is 'Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!' which is full of humor as the pigeon tries to convince the reader to let it drive the bus. 'Knuffle Bunny' is also great. It's about a little girl and her beloved stuffed bunny that gets lost and the adventures that follow are quite funny.
One 'funny ghetto bedtime story' could be about a little boy in the ghetto who tries to train his pet rat to do tricks like jump through a hoop made of old wire. Another might be a story of a group of kids in the ghetto who find an old abandoned car and pretend it's a spaceship, with all kinds of wacky adventures as they 'fly' to different parts of the neighborhood. And there could be a story of an old man in the ghetto who tells tall tales about the time when he was a young and fearless boxer, always making the kids laugh with his exaggerated stories.
Fathers can use different voices for different characters in the story. For example, a deep voice for a big bear and a high - pitched voice for a little mouse. This will make the story more vivid and engaging.
One time, my father went to a self - service car wash. He didn't realize the water pressure was too high and when he turned on the hose, it sprayed all over him and he looked like a drowned rat. But instead of getting mad, he just laughed at himself.
A picture of a man trying to balance an absurd number of objects on his head while walking down the street. It seems like he's either on a dare or just has a very strange hobby. And a photo of a little girl with her hair all messed up after a windy day, but she has a big smile on her face as if she's just had the best adventure ever. These types of photos can bring a smile to anyone's face and clearly tell a funny story.
A picture of a giraffe trying to fit into a tiny car. The giraffe's long neck is bent at an odd angle and its head is sticking out of the window while the rest of its body is squeezed inside. Another example could be a picture of a penguin skiing down a sandy beach instead of snow - covered slopes. It has its little flippers out for balance and a big smile on its face as if it doesn't realize it's in the wrong place.
There's 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit' which can be turned into a bedtime story poem. You can focus on Peter's adventures in Mr. McGregor's garden, but make it more poetic. For example, 'Peter, the naughty rabbit, in the garden did flit'. 'The Little Prince' can also be a source of inspiration. You can take parts of the story like the prince on his different planets and turn them into a poem with a bedtime - friendly mood. Also, 'Aesop's Fables' can be adapted into short, moral - filled bedtime story poems.
One lol bedtime story could be about a little wizard who tries to cast a spell to make his bed float but instead makes all the furniture in his room dance around. It was chaos but also very funny as the wizard chased after the furniture trying to stop them.
There was a little mouse who was always in a hurry. One bedtime, he decided to build a new nest in just five minutes. He ran around gathering bits of string and cotton. But every time he added something, it would fall apart. In the end, he gave up and curled up in his old nest, chuckling at his silly attempt. This made him so relaxed that he fell asleep right away.
