Why I Can't Tell Dad Jokes at Home Anymore

A

My 7 year old actually started groaning before I even finished the setup now. He'll be like 'Dad stop' and I haven't even said anything yet. He's just lost faith in me at this point. Tried one at the dinner table about what you call a sleeping bull and he just stared at me eating his mac and cheese. My wife won't make eye contact when I tell them anymore.

Wait until he's a teenager and you think the groaning can't get any worse. Spoiler alert: it can.

The eye roll before the punchline hits different. My 6 year old does the same thing now and I'm not sure if I should be proud or offended.

At 7 years old he's already got dad joke defense mechanisms down. That's actually impressive in a weird way.
