I thought it was more about husband not caring to remember about anything at all, like all the jokes about when a father can't guess the age of the child without missing by ten years, or doesn't know where the child attends school (those are not entirely jokes as I know of real examples of this)

I feel like the joke might work a lot better with the Mom bringing the kids to random dead father.

Hard to not know who the mother is.

I feel like this would've been a bit different joke then

Knowing German adds an addition layer to the joke

I do not get this one

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The father gets children to random women's graves

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah. But. Why?

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 4 points 2 weeks ago

Because he can't remember her name
