 In most countries when a man and a woman want children they have sex. But not in Germany. In Germany they grow their children in a garden.

 It wasn't supposed to be funny so much as a critique of the word. Germans have some good words that we borrowed: zeitgeist, shadenfreude, wanderlust, doppelganger... but kindergarten wasn't one of our best borrowing decisions, we should have left that one in Germany.

Now If I called this whole thing "childish", THAT would be a dad joke.
