Remember when you thought dad jokes were stupid? Now I find myself cracking them constantly and actually laughing at my own jokes. My kids groan every single time but I can see them trying not to smile sometimes. The other day I said 'I'm reading a book about anti-gravity, can't put it down.' My 7 year old actually laughed. This is my life now and I'm okay with it.
The evolution is real and it's unavoidable. I swear becoming a parent flips a switch in your brain. Bad puns just start flowing naturally.
Wait until you realize you've become your own dad. I caught myself making a joke about how tomatoes are a fruit the other day and I scared myself a little.
Four kids here and I'm fully committed to the dad joke life. The groans fuel me honestly, feels like I'm winning when they can't help but laugh despite themselves.
Dude, same. I catch myself dropping jokes at soccer practice now and the other parents just shake their heads. My kids' groans are basically approval at this point.
Wait till bath time when they're trapped and can't escape your jokes. That's when you really unleash them. My son laughs every single time now.

100% this is my life now. I used to roll my eyes at my dad's jokes and now I'm the worst offender. My kids actually look forward to breakfast because they know something terrible is coming.
