As someone who loves puns and other dad joke type humor, puns feel very much situational and a part of improv. They're great in the moment when you quickly think of something that gets the crowd groaning, but I can't just dig them up with no buildup and get that same feeling.
For example, I could tell you ten random puns without context to try and make you laugh, but more than likely, "no pun in ten did."

My wife threw a bottle of omega-3 capsules at my head. It's okay, I only sustained super-fish-oil injuries.

I'm still struggling. Was OP's joke an unfinished "type of joke"?
Like saying, 'I enjoy "you're momma so fat" jokes'?
Edit: ohhhhhh... as soon as I commented, I read the joke again and got it.
For anyone else struggling, the only kid that doesn't have a name, literally has no name to write out

Why was 7 afraid of 8? Because 7, 8, 9.
But why? Because you're supposed to get 3² meals.
