I know that dads have the reputation for being the funny ones in the mom/dad duo, but dad jokes aside, there are always room for more funny observations when it comes to the day-to-day hilarity of raising kids.

For reasons.

3. That’s such a good start, though.

Grab a glass of wine and start that children’s book you’ve been meaning to write.

2. They always prefer the cheap stuff.

You can quote me on that, and you’re welcome.
