Heard my kid's teacher groan at a joke I told at parent-teacher night

So I was at parent-teacher night last Tuesday and the teacher mentioned they were covering homophones in class. I said "oh like how a bat is both an animal and a thing you hit a ball with?" and she gave this long suffering sigh. Then I added "or how a fly is an insect and also something you do in your pants" and she just stared at me. It hit me then that maybe I've been testing my dad jokes on the wrong audience all this time. Has anyone else had a joke totally flop in a place you thought it would land?

Teacher's got no sense of humor. That fly one's a classic.
