Being a parent means being perpetually tired, at least for the first several years of their lives.
After that, you still have to deal with lack of sleep but it is more sporadic, as I understand.
Or hope.
These 11 dads aren’t letting their exhaustion get in the way of their sense of humor, though – not that you would expect any less from the dedicated dads in the room.
11. That sounds about right.
Why is it always only one shoe?
What I say: Be ready, we are leaving in five minutes.
What the child hears: Get undressed. Start finger painting. Lose at least one shoe.

10. You just have to redefine what’s “fun.”
And then lower your expectations a little more.
Let’s get married & have kids so instead of trying a pumpkin beer you can stop the crying while I go back into the corn maze to find the shoe.

9. You’ve always got to have a t-rex.
Otherwise are you even 4?
Me: What did you do at preschool?
4-year-old: Played cops and robbers.
Me: What were you?
4: A t-rex.

8. We’re all doing our best.
Probably shouldn’t use knives in school, though.

7. Start saving now, kid.
Or do some serious studying.
Me: Everything the light touches will be yours one day
Son: You’re using a laser pointer
Me: Yep
Son: And it’s pointing at a jar of pennies
Me: Yep

6. “My belly’s hungry.”
And a million other excuses.

5. The young padawan is learning.
She’ll be a master soon.
My 5yo not wanting to brush her hair because her “hair is tired” is on another level of excuse that I think we can all learn from.

4. Hard to argue with that.
You can always try. If you want to lose.
I told my kid to put his toys in the toy box and he told me the entire house is a toy box. He’s not wrong.

3. Different things are terrifying.
When you’re a parent, it’s losing (more) sleep.
Why would I pay for a haunted house when I can wake up to my kid silently standing by my bed at 5 AM.

2. They’ve been playing alone for 20 minutes?
That’s a win no matter how you slice it.
My 2 year old and 4 year old have been communicating via walkie talkie for twenty minutes. They're in the same room. The walkie talkies have no batteries. Over.

1. I hope he can read.
That would make it even better.

I love a good hilarious dad joke, don’t you? Of course you do! Why else would you be here? It’s not for humor about chimpanzees. That might be funny, but that’s now what this blog is about.
Okay, now it’s your turn to tell me your favorite joke in the comments!
Please and thank you!
