I told him 'because your mom said I never listen to her' and now he thinks I'm hilarious. Pretty sure he's gonna repeat this at school and I'm gonna get a call from the teacher.
This is peak dad humor. Self-deprecating, gets a laugh from the kid, AND there's actually wisdom in there. Your wife probably pretended to be annoyed but was lowkey impressed.
haha wait so did you actually read the instructions or were you just messing with him
Your kid's got good taste in comedy. The mom listening joke is timeless for a reason. Hope you're ready for the school call though, that one tracks pretty quick back to parents.
This is the kind of joke that's gonna haunt you in the best way possible. He's definitely repeating it, and honestly that's what being a dad is all about.
Ha, that's gold. My kids do the same thing where they pick up my jokes and suddenly I'm the coolest guy at their school for like two weeks. Just wait till the teacher calls home about it.
This is the kind of dad humor that actually lands with kids. I've been trying to make my oldest laugh like this for months.
Okay that's actually genius. Your kid is going to repeat that joke at school and the teachers are going to know exactly where that came from. Worth it though.
I'm stealing this. Two months in and I'm already running out of material that lands with the baby. Well, landing with me while the baby screams.

That's gold. The meta joke about not listening to your mom is actually brilliant parenting right there. You're teaching him about humor and self awareness at the same time.
