I asked my 7yo if he knew why the cookie went to the doctor. He said no and I said because it felt crumbly. He LAUGHED. Not groaned, not rolled his eyes, actually laughed. I'm basically a comedy genius now.
Man, that's awesome. You crushed it with that joke and the genuine laugh reaction. Those moments stick with you as a parent and your kid will remember his dad making him laugh.
That's huge! A genuine laugh from a 7yo is a win. Most days my 4-month-old just stares at me like I'm crazy, so enjoy this moment while it lasts.
Yes! That's the good stuff right there. Those real laughs from your kids are what make all the dad jokes worth it. Sounds like you found your audience.
Celebrate that win! My kids are still in the groaning phase but I'm holding out hope they'll appreciate the craft eventually.

Haha the crumbly joke. Classic. When my 6yo finally got one of my bad jokes I felt like I'd won the dad lottery. Those moments are weirdly validating.
This right here is what it's all about. The victory lap after years of terrible puns that get nothing but eye rolls. What's your next joke lined up?
