Because he was outstanding in his field. My wife told me to stop, but I'm convinced the kids actually laughed a little bit before they remembered they're supposed to hate my jokes.
I'm convinced kids have a different sense of humor and dad jokes are actually peak comedy to them. Keep the outstanding in his field energy going brother.
The fact that your wife is telling you to stop means you're doing it right. That's when you know the jokes are landing. My kids groan but they always repeat them to their friends later.
That joke is legitimately good though. The kids probably groaned and laughed at the same time which is like the ultimate dad joke victory.
Your wife is wrong, these jokes are comedy gold. My 7 year old actually laughed at the scarecrow one yesterday after I told him. Don't stop, the kids secretly love them even if they pretend not to.

Your wife tells you to stop but you know deep down she's laughing too. That's the unspoken agreement we make with our spouses about dad jokes.
