That's when you know you've reached peak dad status. Told him 'Why did the coffee file a police report? It got mugged.' He just groaned so loud the neighbors probably heard it. Worth it.
This is the exact moment you know you've won at parenting. Embrace it fully. I've leaned so hard into being the uncool dad that my kids now expect it and I think they actually appreciate it sometimes.
The coffee joke is classic! Did he groan or just stare at you? That's the real measure of dad joke success. My 8 year old has started rating them on a scale and somehow they're all getting worse scores even though I'm telling the same ones.
