I told my son I had to go to the bank to check my balance. He goes "But dad you have really good balance I saw you trip on nothing yesterday." I got got by my own kid. Worth it though because he was laughing so hard he could barely breathe. These are the moments that make the sleepless nights worth it.
Haha that's actually clever. Your son's got some wit going. The best dad jokes are the ones where they realize they walked right into it.
Getting a genuine laugh instead of a groan is like hitting the jackpot. I live for those moments when a joke actually lands with my kids.
That's gold! The logic is impeccable. Kids catch you in those moments where your joke actually lands and it makes it even better.
I use bank jokes at home all the time and yeah, when they actually get it and laugh, that's a huge win. Most of the time I just get blank stares though.

Oh man, the balance joke. I'm stealing this one. My kids are going to hate it which means it's perfect.
That pause before the punchline is everything. You can see them processing it and then the realization hits. This is the good stuff.
