Who let the dogs bowl
Strike. Strike. Strike strike strike. Strike!
Hey Nico, it’s your dog, let’s go bowling
Aw shit. Here we go again.
It’s his fault really, there’s no apostrophe.
Dogs 'bowl?
m’bowl. Tips hat
That’s silly. It’s dogs b’owl.
the 'dog’s bowl obviously
The ’ is silent.
Only if the dogs have space worms.
Listen. If my dogs want space worms, I’m going to get them space worms.
Check out these guys’ farm maybe
Non native so maybe it just gets lost, but I don’t get it?
Is the error that the possessive ‘s is missing at ‘dogs’ ? If so, then its plural… I don’t get it ^^’
Have you seen the bowl belonging to the dog? (The intended question of the asker. You’re right, it’s missing the possessive.)
vs.
Have you seen the dogs bowling? (The dad’s perfect misinterpretation.)
Yep, that’s it. This way “bowl” becomes a verb and the sentence means “Have you seen the dogs play bowling?”.
You’re on the right track. The possessive 's is missing which would make it the bowl of the dog (as intended). The way it is written, “bowl” could be a verb as in “have you seen the dogs when they bowl”. Hope that makes sense and I’m a non native myself so not 100% sure myself
Yes, they forgot the apostrophe, so the Dad took “Have you seen the dogs bowl?” to mean “Have you seen the dogs go bowling?”
Oohhh OK, now I get it. I was missing that ‘bowl’ is short for boeling.
You could also read it as a vowel.
(in bowling) to roll a ball along a smooth surface during a game of bowls or bowling
(in Cricket) to throw a ball towards a batsman (= the player who hits the ball) using a vertical circular movement of the arm while running:
It’s not short for bowling (although it can be expressed like that too), it’s the infinitive form of the verb, to bowl. “Have you seen the birds fly?”
While that gives the response more legitimacy, dads don’t actually care about the grammar and will make a smart ass response just based on how the question sounds.
Time flies like an arrow
Fruit flies like a bananaYou’d think they’d like grapes more.
Are you talking about fruit flies or time flies?
If only there’d been an apostrophe…
Dad saw this as a teachable moment.
Dad, noticing the missing apostrophe
“Oh-ho, the game is afoot!”
at first i though this was talking about the Puppy Bowl that is broadcasted before the superb owl, and yes, it is something that everyone should watch
It used to be at the same time, so you’d have to choose between the two
You know which one I was more interested in
Wait, if it’s not providing a better alternative to the sportsball then what even is the point?
