Dad Jokes? DAD JOKES?

My household runs on Dad Jokes

Hubby and I love to try to beat each other to the punchline every time we drive past a cemetery with the kids -- "This is a very exclusive club, people are just dying to get in here!" And if there's a funeral actually going on that we can see,"Look! The induction ceremony!"

Or, alternatively to change it up once in a while, "I think we're around the dead center of town."

It's very well worth the groans/heavy sighs

At what age can I expect my daughters' laughter to turn into disgust and/or embarrasment?

Crossing my fingers for good news...

For us, it kicked in for the kids around 8 and 9. They're 10 and 11 now

You got another year or two before eye rolls start. After that, enjoy making them groan and squirm in embarrassment. Bonus points if you drop Dad Jokes in public

I don't know if it's a good thing I don't have children but I can appreciate parental humour.

"Hahaha, The Cemetery dad jokes, they're classic, one of my fav dad jokes I always and still do say. "See that one, he died in grave circumstances and if you listen he's still coffin." My youngest is seventeen out of 7 kids and the jokes drive him nuts.

Keeps my old mind active. Seeing the funny in about everything.

Kind regards,

Just read a meme on facebook that said...

I'm still waiting patiently
for the wisdom that supposedly comes with old age.
Anyone else?

Found this. It's beginning to pertain to me and I might refer to it when electronically communicating.



Ahh, now something I can relate to,

Kind regards,

You forgot this one: Hey kids, how many dead people are there in the cemetery? Answer: All of them.

Bahaha, "hey kids look at the backhoe. It's a plot they're digging into that will have grave circumstances."

This is 'reviving' my old dad jokes.

I'm with DOE on your story, keep writing, it's a break to read an adventure other than my awful posts. Love reading new stories. Would make a good children's book with illustrations. One of my older daughters was right into fairies and I bought her many books. Spent many dad/daughter evenings reading the fairy bedtime stories and pointing out the characters.

Now she has grown up and just had her first baby I hope she will find the time to read to her young one. I'll leave the dad jokes up to her young beau. He needs a bit of fine tuning.

Kind regards,

Bally

I think that I passed through the "wisdom that comes with old age " stage at some point (very, very quickly) and now find myself in a befuddled, brain-fog-limbo stage, somewhere between "past-it" and "now can't even remember it"!

Yep, that about sums it up. Lol

Awww, thank you bally!

I'm sure your Daughter will read many beautiful faery stories to your Grand Daughter.

Nobody is home tonight? It must be one of those days then.

I'm out of here for now too. PM for Night Star.

Then you're going to get this one:

Q. What did the 0 say to the 8?

I see the answer was "Nice belt!"

My answer would have been "You're twisted!"

Nah, won't happen. I knew EVERYTHING when i was a teen. Absolutely everything about all things. Then it has been a steady downfall from that as i have aged a bit All the "Answers" i have reached are either wrong, or pops up more questions.

You are a class act and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. This is the gentlest and most reasonably measured way of saying "He's a hopeless punk, but so was I and somehow I survived." Have I read between the lines correctly?

Or am I projecting my own wishful thinking

In fact, I love that answer.
