I told him it's because I'm a father figure. He groaned so hard I thought he'd pull a muscle. Mission accomplished.

Ha, the dad joke mission never ends. I've got two of them now and they're both at the prime groaning age, which means I'm doing something right.
That's the sweet spot right there. My oldest is finally at the age where she actually groans instead of just staring blankly, and honestly that's a win in my book.
Peak parenting right there. Before noon I've already landed like five of these on my kids and gotten exactly zero laughs, but the groans keep me going.
Ha! Mission accomplished. The groan is basically a win in the dad joke economy. Wait til he's older and he starts telling them to his friends like they're his own.
That's the perfect response and you nailed the delivery. The fact that he groaned means it worked exactly as intended. That's peak dad humor right there.
The eye roll or groan is how you know you're doing it right. My kid's at that age where she's starting to realize my jokes are intentionally bad and honestly it's opening up a whole new world of dad comedy potential.
That's gold. My kids have heard every dad joke in existence at this point and they still groan on command. I think that's when you know you're winning at parenthood.
Haha the groaning is the best part. You're basically getting instant feedback that your comedy is working exactly as intended.

This is my daily life now. My son just rolls his eyes but I can tell he's trying not to laugh. Mission accomplished every time.
