Told my teenager a joke at dinner about how I used to hate facial hair but then it grew on me. The eye roll was so powerful I think he strained something. My wife couldn't stop laughing though so I'm calling that a win.
The facial hair joke is solid and the eye roll is basically a badge of honor at this point. You're doing it right.
I got an eye roll for a worse joke than that last week so you're in good company. Pretty sure it's mandatory teenager behavior.
That's actually a decent joke though. The eye roll means you succeeded, not failed. That's how you know it landed.
Nailed it. My kids do the eye roll thing now too and honestly it's the best feedback I could ask for. Means they're listening.

The facial hair joke is legitimately solid though. Eye rolls are just silent applause from teenagers.
