When it comes to humor, dads often steal the spotlight, but moms can be pretty hilarious too. That’s what this list proves. These 75 women have an absolutely incredible sense of humor and we think the world deserves to know about their comical genius.
Some of these moms are naturally funny. Others, it takes a little wine to coax the jokes out of them. But the one unifying thing that they all have in common is that they are always making everyone around them crack up with laughter.
Don’t believe us? Just have a look at the photo that this first mom took. She ran into rapper Waka Flocka Flame at the airport and sent her daughter a cool shot of them posing together. “You meet the nicest people when you travel with an open mind,” the mom wrote.
