I caught myself making a pun about my kid's breakfast cereal this morning and actually laughing at my own joke. My wife just stared at me. I think this is what happens when you become a dad. Your sense of humor fundamentally changes. I'm not mad about it though, I think it's hilarious.
The fact that you caught yourself and laughed means you've fully accepted your fate as a dad. Congrats.
Haha, the cereal pun is pretty good though. My wife gives me that same stare when I crack jokes about model rockets.
That stare is the unofficial dad joke approval. If we're laughing at our own jokes, we're doing it right.
Welcome to the club. I caught myself laughing at my own puns about piano the other day and my daughter just shook her head at me.
Welcome to the dark side. Next thing you know you'll be doing the eyebrow raise to set them up. It's all downhill from here.

Oh man, I crossed that line about six months ago. My kids now expect the jokes. There's no going back.
