Got my kids to actually laugh at one of my jokes today without rolling their eyes first. It was about a knock knock joke that didn't work because nobody was home. They groaned but then giggled. I'm honestly thinking about framing this moment.
Nice! My kids are starting to appreciate my jokes more now and it's honestly one of the best feelings. Keep 'em coming.
That's huge man! Those eye roll moments are the worst so when they actually laugh it feels like you won the lottery. Gotta ride that high while it lasts.
Getting a genuine laugh instead of a groan is basically winning parenting for the day. Everything else is just bonus after that happens.
This is a genuine W. Don't let anyone tell you that's not an accomplishment. Enjoy this moment because it might be a while before the next one lol
This is a real achievement. Kids are harsh critics and when they actually laugh without the eye roll it means something. What was the joke? Need to steal some material for my own kids.
Ha! I got a legitimate laugh from my son last week and I'm still riding that high. Usually it's groans and 'Dad, that was terrible.' Celebrate this victory man.
I got my 9 year old to laugh at a sandcastle dad joke last week and I'm still riding that high. Dad jokes work better when they're delivered with full confidence and zero shame.

That's the dream right there. My oldest is 14 and I think the last time she laughed at one of my jokes without the eye roll was like 2019. What was the joke? Need some fresh material for my crew.
