I told him it's a fatherhood requirement. He didn't laugh. I think he's already mastered the eye roll before age 7. I'm so proud.

Wait until he's a teenager and realizes he's going to be just like you. The eye rolls turn into silent acceptance and then one day he makes a bad joke and you can't be mad.
Honestly the eye roll at that age might be the best compliment you can get. He's paying attention to what you're doing.
That's the dream right there. If they're groaning at your jokes, you know you're a real dad. Keep those bad jokes coming, man.
Dude, the eye roll at 7 is just the beginning. My kids are perfecting the art of the sigh now and they're not even teenagers yet. You're doing it right.
Haha the eye roll at age... what is he, like 7? Just wait till he's a teenager. That's when the dad jokes become a form of psychological warfare and honestly it's the best part of parenting.
That eye roll is his way of telling you the joke landed perfectly. You're doing it right.
Bro that's not a requirement, that's a superpower. If he's not groaning or rolling his eyes, you're not dad-joking hard enough.

The eye roll means you're doing it right. My oldest is 9 and she's perfected a look that could kill. I take it as a badge of honor.
