Dad makes mummy pun when asked why he isn't staying in Egyptian pyramids

This image is a screenshot of an X (Twitter) post from user @thatssomichelle. The post shows a funny text exchange between the poster and her father, who is traveling in Egypt. The dad first sends a photo of the view from his hotel room, explaining the picture is taken from the hotel. The poster jokingly asks why he is not staying in the pyramids. The dad replies with a corny pun: "That's for mummy's only, dads are in the hotel", playing on the double definition of "mummy" -- both a common colloquial term for mother, and the preserved ancient Egyptian dead that are famously buried in pyramids.
