I said I was just giving them a little motivation. You could say I'm trying to help them grow. She didn't laugh. She never laughs at my jokes but my kids do and that's all that matters. Wait until they're teenagers and they realize I'm hilarious.
That's actually a solid one. The plant growth angle is perfect dad joke territory. Your wife's reaction is exactly what you're going for.
These are the jokes that stick with you even though people pretend to hate them. Keep them coming.
Dude, the plant motivation angle is gold. Your kids laughing is all that matters anyway, not the wife's reaction. You're planting seeds in their sense of humor.
I'm six months in and still learning that the kids are the real audience. The wife's eye roll is just part of the deal.
Professional pillow fort architect here and I have to say the plants totally appreciate the pep talk even if your wife doesn't. Keep it up.
I do this exact thing and get the same eye roll from my wife. But I swear the plants grow better when you talk to them. Or maybe it's just the CO2. Either way, I'm calling it a win.
Ha, I've said stuff like this and gotten the exact same reaction. Plant puns hit different when you're a dad.

The eye roll is the sign of a perfectly executed dad joke. You're doing it right.
