We're at the grocery store and my 9 year old says she's thirsty. I look right at her and say 'Hi Thirsty, I'm Dad.' The cashier actually laughed but my daughter looked at me like I had grown a second head. She's been imitating me all day saying 'Hi Sad, I'm tired' and her friends think it's hilarious. This is my life now.
This is peak dad energy right here. The grocery store is the perfect venue too because they're stuck with you and can't escape the embarrassment. Lean into it, my friend.
The grocery store aisle is the worst place to drop a dad joke because now there's an audience laughing AND your kid is mortified. Mission accomplished.
This is your life now. You're committed to the dad joke path and there's no turning back.
Ha! At least you committed to it. The worst part about dad jokes is that you have to own them completely or the kids will never let you live it down anyway.
Ha, the classic 'Hi Thirsty, I'm Dad' move. My 9 year old groans every single time I do this but I can see her trying not to smile. You're locked into dad joke duty for life now, that's just how it works.
The fact that you can't live it down means you succeeded as a dad. Those moments are what parenting is all about.

This is peak dad energy right here. Did it at the grocery store where there's an audience too. Your 9 year old is gonna remind you of this one for years.
