🌽🍓😄 Happy International Joke Day! 😄🍎🥕

We're celebrating with some fruit and veggie fun!

🤣 Why did the banana go to the doctor?
Because it wasn't peeling well!

🥕 What did the carrot say to the celery?
"Quit stalking me!"

🍅 Why was the tomato blushing?
Because it saw the salad dressing!

🍇 What do you call a sad strawberry?
A blueberry!

🍉 Why don't watermelons get married?
Because they cantaloupe!

Eating fruits and vegetables helps fuel growing bodies and healthy families—and they can bring plenty of smiles, too. 😊

At WIC, we know that screen time and digital devices are a big concern for families. 👪 The American Academy of Pediatrics has recently updated its recommended guidelines on digital media to prevent potentially harmful effects on your family's health, safety, and well-being! 📱The AAP suggests several recommendations to support your family’s healthy use of technology:

✅Create a family technology plan and set boundaries on digital media.

✅Delay use of personal tablets.

✅Watch and play alongside your children to monitor digital content.

✅Use parental controls.
