The joke: I stayed up all night wondering where the sun went, and then it dawned on me. Explaining... The joke is a pun. - “Dawned” literally means morning arrived / the sun came up. - “It dawned on me” is also an expression meaning I suddenly understood something. - By the way I absolutely love this expression. So the humor is that: I stayed up all night wondering where the sun went… And in the morning, when the sun appeared, it literally dawned. At the same time, the realization “dawned on me.” One word does two jobs at once — that’s the joke.
