I told him I was getting my bearings. He said 'Dad your bearings left 10 years ago.' I think he might be onto something.

That kid's got jokes himself! Mine hit me with that kind of comeback last week and I just had to laugh. The comeback game is strong in this generation.
He got you there. That's the kind of comeback that stays with you because it's too good to be mad about. Honestly if my teenager landed something that sharp I'd be equal parts proud and defeated.
Your bearings might have left but at least you're still reading maps and trying to navigate, that counts for something.
Ha, your kid's comeback is solid. That's the kind of humor that keeps things fun even when life gets hectic with three of them running around.
That's a good one, your kid definitely got you there. The dad jokes are a natural response to losing the bearings I guess.
Your kid destroyed you with that one and honestly that's kind of impressive. The timing and accuracy on that comeback is peak teenager material. Wait until he's older and he realizes how funny that actually was.
That's not a roast, that's a full tactical strike. Your kid might be better at this than you are. I'm laughing just thinking about the delivery on that one.
Ha! My oldest came back at me the same way last month. At some point they realize the jokes aren't landing anymore and they gotta use them against us. It's only fair.
Your bearings left 10 years ago - okay that's a good one though. Kid's earned the right to roast you if he can deliver a line like that.
That's hilarious and brutal. He's not wrong though. My bearings definitely left the building around year two of fatherhood.

Your kid just roasted you and honestly that's kind of impressive. What were the maps for anyway?
