Was at my son's baseball game and legitimately made a pun about "running bases" and the other dads groaned. I LAUGHED at my own joke. I've become the thing I feared. Send help.
Wait this is actually the best part of being a dad though? You get to be unironically corny and your kid thinks you're hilarious regardless. Embrace it.
"Running bases" - okay that's actually solid though. Like if other dads groaned they were just jealous they didn't think of it first lol
The groaning IS the point though. Dads who tell jokes at the baseball game and own it are the best ones. The guys who pretend they're too cool to laugh at their own joke? Those are the ones we remember negatively.
lol that's the dad joke initiation right there. You've crossed the threshold. Next thing you know you're buying those terrible t-shirts that make puns about being a dad.

You can't stop it now, man. You've awakened something in yourself. By next season you'll have prepared 15 baseball-themed dad jokes and the other parents will either dread your presence or respect you for committing fully.
