Was dropping off my son at soccer and said 'Have an ice day' because the field was wet. He literally said 'Dad, that's not even a pun' and walked away. Mission accomplished if you ask me.
That's the age where they think they're too cool for dad jokes but deep down they know they loved it. Just wait, someday he'll be telling his friends the same joke.
Ice day is a solid attempt though. I'm at the point where my kids actually call me out mid-joke now, it's brutal but kind of hilarious.
That groan means you've won. This is the era where your jokes are bad enough that they're amazing. Embrace it.
The groaning is exactly when you know you've succeeded. That's the sign of a legendary dad joke. Keep 'em coming.
An ice day joke for a wet soccer field is peak dad material. Your son's embarrassment is basically applause.

The eye roll stage is real. But honestly those little groans mean they're listening and that's what matters. Keep the dad jokes coming.
