14 Dad Jokes You Might Want to Share

A solid dad joke will make you groan, or even roll your eyes. A great dad joke will make you do those things, plus secretly text your own dad, or your husband, or your uncle who loves puns just as soon as you can.

I’m not saying they’re good jokes, but they’re good dad jokes – an important distinction, of course, but that doesn’t mean they’re not funny.

Below are 14 you’re definitely going to want to share.

14. Ooh this one is dark, y’all.

“My grandfather survived pepper spray and mustard gas attacks in two wars…and came home to us a seasoned veteran.”

13. I didn’t see that one coming.

“My wife just completed a 40-week bodybuilding program this morning.

It’s a girl and weighs 7 pounds, 12 ounces.”

12. Nope. Stop it.

“I met my boyfriend while visiting the zoo. There he was, in his uniform…straightaway, I knew he was a keeper.”

11. This one definitely earned a groan.

“What genre are national anthems? Country.”

10. Sorry to everyone outside my bubble.

“Due to the quarantine, I’ll only be telling inside jokes.”

9. It’s nice to know exactly what you’re getting into.

“My daughter’s boyfriend introduced himself to me and said, ‘Hello, sir, I’m David. Nice to meet you.’

He put out his hand and I said, ‘David, are you nervous?’

He said no, so I grabbed his hand, looked him in the eyes, and said, ‘Then why are you shaking?’”

8. Oh, dear.

“I went to my doctor today and told him I was having problems with my hearing.

He asked, ‘Can you describe the symptoms?’

I replied, ‘Sure. They’re yellow, Homer’s fat, and Marge has blue hair.’”

7. You gotta love a good science joke.

“I am Buzz Aldrin. Second man to step on the moon. Neil before me.”

6. We’re all just trying to be safe, here.

“I tried to come up with a joke about social distancing. This is as close as I could get.”

5. If this one doesn’t make you crack a smile, I don’t know how.

“A man walks into a pet store and asks for a dozen bees.

The clerk carefully counts 13 bees out onto the counter.

‘That’s one too many!’ says the customer.

The clerk replies ‘It’s a freebie.’”

4. Hahahahaha good one.

“I just saw 10 ants frantically running around my kitchen.

I felt bad, so I built them a small house.

Now I’m their landlord and I collect rent from my tenants.”

3. No way your 5yo won’t love this one.

“Where do you take someone who’s been injured in a peek-a-boo accident? To the I.C.U.”

2. Nailed it.

“I got an email from Google saying, ‘At Google Earth, we are able to read maps backwards!’ and I thought, ‘That’s just spam!’”

1. And not just in the way the rest of us mean.

“The COVID-19 situation has been especially stressful for the Flat Earth Society.

They fear that the social distancing measures could push people over the edge.”

I’m already sending these to my dad, y’all.

Dads That Are Making You Laugh While They Cry

Parenting can be so hard sometimes, but still, there is usually some kind of comedy to be found within the madness, if you look hard enough.

Everyone knows that laughter is the best way to stop yourself from crying (or to make your cryfest seem less sad, I suppose), and these 17 dads are here to bring you the laughs from within their own crazy lives.

17. A terrorist is a terrorist people.

We can’t let them win.

16. Spoiler Alert: it’s not pretty.

Like when you accidentally turn the camera to face yourself.

15. They will ruin anything you’re excited about.

Even for fighting with their siblings, I guess.

Snacks are life, y’all, don’t @ me.

Maybe more. It’s hard to tell when they’re all going for your face.

3. Neither can your 6yo, probably.

What even is time these days, anyway?

Dads Who Have Nailed This Parenting Thing

Nothing can prepare you for what it’s like to be a parent. You think you’re ready, that you can handle it, and while the latter will turn out to be true, the former is not.

Seriously, you are not ready.

These 11 dads were surely in that same boat with no paddle, but somewhere along the way, they’ve managed to shore up the holes.

11. A cup is a cup. Or is it?

If you need a drink, any one will do.

You learn to make the magic happen, though, right?

You’re a morning person now. Congrats.

Maybe I can get my husband to do things the same way.

2. In her defense, what does time matter these days?

Ice cream for breakfast, 2020.

1. We’re just so hopeful every time.

We don’t vacation with kids, we take trips.

Parenting goals, right?  I love when dads make me laugh – it’s a special brand of giggles.

What about you? Any of these tickle your funny bone?

Let us know in the comments, fam!

Dads, Here Are Tips on How to Talk to Your Sons About Emotional Intelligence

Society has placed a premium on the stoic male figure for generations. The boy, the young man, the husband and father, the patriarch, who doesn’t cry. Doesn’t need anyone, never loses control over his emotions or his family. Who shoulders it all without help, without complaint.

A man who has friends, but ones he drinks beer with, or watches the game or coaches his children with, not men he talks to about anything of depth. Certainly not men he could hug, or cry in front of, or reach out to when it all got to be too much.

Those things have historically been left to the womenfolk, and men?

Image Credit: Pexels

They’re suffering for an inability to connect with themselves, and with others, and to recognize that being able to access one’s emotion makes him a healthy human being – nothing more, and nothing less.

Those stigmas, those expectations, are slowly starting to change. A generation of parents are focusing on emotional intelligence, on managing feelings instead of swatting in order to change behavior.

If you’re a man raising sons, I submit to you that there is no one more important in your boy’s, life. He’s watching you, learning and absorbing and forming expectations for himself, for his friends, for the world around him.

Here are some things to keep in mind when considering how to avoid the pitfalls of toxic masculinity in the. next generation.

1. Talk to your son the same way you would talk to a daughter.

Pay attention to what sort of messages they’re getting from society about what they should or shouldn’t be, and talk to them about why that is or isn’t correct, from your point of view.

Image Credit: Pexels

2. Bring up tough topics in situations where eye contact is easily avoided.

This is one of the best ways to engage a young boy in conversation. You can suggest something like a bike ride, but the fact is, you’ll likely find yourself in the car with your kids more often than not, and it’s a great place to “trap” them, but also let them not look at you when things get awkward.

3. Ask open ended questions.

This help the boys in your life develop a vocabulary they can use to discuss emotions. Girls tend to do this naturally with one another, but since boys typically don’t, parents need to put in the work.

4. Model being emotionally vulnerable and communicating frankly and honestly.

If you’re the primary male in your son’s (or another boy’s) life, don’t just talk like this when you’re with him – do it when you’re with your friends, your family, your wife, and your other children as well.

5. Avoid the pitfall of telling boys to act older.

When you’re telling a young boy to “get it together” or “stop overreacting” or that he’s “crying over nothing,” you’re telling him to be something he’s not. You want the kid to be able to trust you enough to express his emotions out loud.

6. Don’t let boys believe that it’s okay to power through all the time.

Be part of the change we all want to see in the world. Let your son know that it’s okay to take care of himself emotionally, mentally, as well as physically. Life sometimes necessarily puts those things on hold, but they need to know they need to take days to validate how things have impacted them emotionally.

Image Credit: Pexels

7. You’re not there to “fix” anything.

With kids, probably the most important thing to remember is that, when it comes to emotions and developing emotional intelligence is you’re there to be someone who, in that moment, is calm and supportive – someone who can hold the feelings that spill over so that the child doesn’t feel full to bursting – and someone who will just listen.

We all need that in our lives, and as you fathers are figuring out how to show your sons that fact, please remember that all of this advice applies to you, too.

Take care of yourselves, whether your boys or new fathers or mentors or grandfathers finding themselves with a second chance to shape a young life.

You won’t be able to take care of anyone else if you don’t secure your own mask first.
