Consider the following joke: A mother and her young son returned from the grocery store and began putting groceries away. He opened a box of animal crackers and spread them out on the table. “What are you doing?” his mother asked. “The box says you can’t eat them if the seal is broken. I’m looking for the seal.” Explain why one might find (or fail to find) this joke funny from the framework of each classic humor theory (relief, superiority, incongruity)
