Today my daughter asked what's for dinner and I said 'food.' She was not amused. Then I told her she should be grateful because some kids don't have anything to eat. She said 'yeah, but they probably have better dads.' I walked right into that one. I deserve it though.
Ha, the 'food' answer is a classic. Kids don't get the humor yet but they will. You're doing fine.
That's solid parenting honestly. The eye roll is just part of the job description.
The dad joke struggle is real. My wife has actually started groaning before I even finish my sentences now. I take it as a sign I'm doing something right.
This is the kind of content I'm here for. My daughter rolled her eyes so hard at my jokes last week I thought they'd get stuck. Worth it.

Ha! I told my son the other day that dinner was 'surprise mystery food' and he actually ate it without complaining. Sometimes these jokes land better than we expect.
