Found my 7 year old going through my phone looking at my notes where I keep all my dad jokes. Now he keeps hitting me with 'Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field!' at dinner. The worst part is my wife is encouraging it. I've created a monster.
Oh no, your kid found the dad jokes vault. That's simultaneously hilarious and tragic for you. Did he start reading them out loud to you immediately or is he saving them up as ammunition?
This happened to me last month when my 8 year old got my phone. Now she's weaponizing them against me at the dinner table. The worst part is she's starting to actually laugh at some of them which means my game is still got it.
Oh man, this is the moment every dad dreams of and dreads. Your legacy lives on through him now. Pretty soon he'll be telling them to his friends at school and you'll be getting reports back about it.
He found the goldmine. You've basically just handed him the keys to being the class entertainer. The fact that he's interested in your humor is kind of amazing, even if it means your jokes aren't funny anymore because everyone's heard them.
This is actually incredible though. Your 7 year old is learning comedy. That's not a loss, that's a win. He's going to be the funniest kid in his class and it's all because of you.

Okay but now you HAVE to share some of your best ones with us. If your kid's going to steal them anyway might as well get the internet's approval first.
