Been waiting for this moment for years. Made a joke about rectangles having the most corners and my 9 year old actually laughed instead of groaning. My wife looked shocked. This is what I've been working toward. The long game finally pays off.
Man, that's awesome. I've got a 9 year old too and that sweet spot where they actually find dad humor funny is golden. Enjoy it because it won't last forever haha.
Dude, that rectangle joke is legitimately funny and I'm stealing it for soccer practice. My oldest just started actually laughing at my stuff too and it's the best feeling.
Your kids are at the right age for this stuff. I'm still waiting for mine to think I'm funny. Dad jokes are my specialty but they're not there yet.
That's the moment right there. When they actually laugh at your jokes instead of groaning. It's the best feeling.
I've been waiting for this too. My oldest finally laughed at one of my terrible jokes last month and I felt like I won the lottery.

This is the moment we live for! My kids are finally at the age where they get the wordplay and it makes all those years of eye rolls totally worth it.
