Some more jokes:
Mum knows everything:
Mum taught me how to respect a well done job: If you want to kill each other do it outside. I've just cleaned the carpet.
Mum taught me the basics of logic: Why? Because I said so.
Mum taught me how to behave properly: Stop behaving like your father.
Mum taught me the basics of irony: If you don't stop screaming, I'll give you something to scream about.
Mum taught me how to twist my body into extreme positions: Just look at that dirt on your neck.
Mum taught me patience: You will sit here until the vegetables disappear.
Mum taught me the basics of meteorolgy: Your room looks like it has been hit by a tornado.
Mum taught me about expectation: Just you wait when we get home.
And mum taught me one last wisdom: When you'll be my age you'll understand.
I found it funny.

Nice jokes Lana, are you from Finland???
It's funnt that you mention the Eurovision song contest. People here (in Malta) take the competition so seriously when everyone knows it's just a joke.

No, I'm not from Finland, that's why I apologized at the beginning. Actually, I don't know anything about the Finns otherwise and have really nothing against them, but this joke isn't that offensive, I think. It's more about the weather than it is about people themselves.
I can post some jokes about my country as well, if you'd like to see them, but it'll take some time.

As a Finn I can assure you that the joke is hilarious and not offensive in any way.
