Sometime on Monday, depending where you live, the Moon will pass directly between the Earth and the Sun. This will block out all of the Sun’s light, which is pretty cool. Less cool is the fact you can still go blind if you stare at it without the proper protective eyewear.
This also presents a monumental moment for dad puns. We asked our Twitter followers (@ClassicDadMoves) for their best/worst solar eclipse puns, and they did not disappoint. Check out some of these gems.
So unless you've been in the dark, you know there's a solar eclipse tomorrow. ????
Reply to this w/ your best (and worst) puns for the event.

Didn't wear my sunglasses during the last eclipse. Now I'm blind. Didn't see that coming…
