My kid just called me out on my worst dad joke ever

I said 'I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down!' and my 6 year old just stared at me and said 'That doesn't even make sense, dad. Books don't have gravity.' He destroyed me. I thought I nailed it. When did my jokes stop working on them?

This made me laugh out loud. My 8 year old does the exact same thing - just looks at me like 'really dad?' and walks away. But honestly I think that eye roll is better than no reaction.

Ha, the anti-gravity book joke is a classic! But also respect to your 6 year old for the call out. That's actually hilarious. What did he say exactly?

When they're old enough to recognize a bad joke, that's actually a win. It means they're thinking critically. Even if it stings a little to get roasted by your own kid.
