Was making breakfast this morning and burned the toast. My 9 year old goes 'Dad, that's not charcoal, that's CARBON.' I've been waiting YEARS for someone in this family to understand my chemistry jokes. My wife just shakes her head. My son gets it though. Feels like a win.
Your 9 year old's response is gold. That's when you know you're winning at the dad joke game. Mine are still at the eye roll stage so I'm looking forward to this.
Ha, that's the moment right there. After years of terrible timing and eye rolls, suddenly they're the ones setting you up for jokes. Treasure it man.
That's gold. Nine years in the making and finally paying off. My two are getting to that age where they actually get the wordplay instead of just rolling their eyes.
Your kid basically just complimented your sense of humor by matching your energy with that comeback. That's the win you've been waiting for.
That's the best feeling right there. When they finally get it and laugh at your jokes instead of groaning. The burned toast bit is perfect dad material.

This is what I have to look forward to. My oldest still hates my jokes but the younger one at least pretends to laugh sometimes. Makes me feel like I'm doing something right.
