YOU KNOW YOU’RE A DAD WHEN…

• you suddenly know all the words to every Eagles song.

• you get up early on a Saturday morning to make sure you’ll be tired enough for a couch nap that afternoon.

• you change your car’s oil exactly every 2,000 miles.

• mowing the lawn is no longer a chore, but a privilege.

• you can actually tell old John Wayne movies apart.

• your idea of fun is aimlessly wandering around the home improvement section of any store.

The Letdown

A high schooler wants to ask his best female friend to prom. Because they’ve been friends for so long, he really wants to make his “promposal” special. He talks to his friends, he talks to her friends, and spends days planning the perfect moment. Happily, she says yes!

Over the next couple of months, she sends him different styles and colors of ideas for her dress. He tells honestly that she’s always been beautiful to him, and privately to himself, he is now realizing he has strong feelings for her. He knows he needs to tell her.

The night of the prom, he’s extremely anxious. What if he says something stupid? What if she laughs at him or doesn’t return his feelings? What if she thinks he’s a terrible dancer? All of these thoughts are swirling around in his mind as both their parents fuss over them and make them pose for a million photos.

They get to the prom and he’s even more anxious. It’s dark, it’s loud, it’s crowded. They have to shout to be heard. But she grabs his hand, leads him to the dance floor, and they forget everything and everyone around them. A while later, as the songs have gotten slower, he can feel his heart pounding. He thinks it’s finally the right time. He leans down and whispers the truth in her ear, the truth about having loved her since they met in second grade. She starts to cry happy tears, saying she’s always loved him too, and they kiss. As the song ends and changes to something fast again, he asks her if she’d like to sit and have a drink. She says yes, could he please get her some punch?

He feels like he’s walking on clouds as he goes over to where the drinks and food are laid out. He wants to get back to her right away and hopes he doesn’t have to wait too long at the refreshments table.

He makes his way through the crowd, and is able to get their drinks and return to his waiting love within just a couple of minutes. Because, would you believe it?

There was no punch line.

A man sits in a handicapped spot.

He sits criss-cross in a handicapped spot, on his phone.

A disabled man in a wheelchair rolls to the spot, sees him, and asks him to move.

The man sitting down says "Don't you know who I am?"

The disabled man says "No, who are you where you're so important you can sit in a spot designed for me?"

The man says "My name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III. I'm literally Eminem. I'm so famous, I can sit in this spot and not get any backlash."

The disabled man gets a little shocked, seeing the REAL Eminem sitting in his spot. Suddenly, he gets a brilliant idea.

The man says...

"May I have your attention please?"

Eminem looks up, confused.

"Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?"

Eminem sweats.

"I repeat, will the real Slim Shady please stand up?"

A security guard comes over, realizing what's going on, also knowing the song.

"We're gonna have a problem here."

After three years this is still the one joke I'm the most proud of. I got my friend with this one on our road trip to our vacation in Italy.

So this was in the summer of 2011 and at the time this song was a big hit: Medina - You and I. The important part here is the chorus, starting at 0:44.

So in the middle of the song I ask my friend "Do you know what kind of car this singer drives?"
"No idea", she said. To which I replied "A hyu-n-dai."

She almost threw me out of the car.

Mr. Brightside

"He takes off her dress now..."

"Why was he wearing her dress?", My Dad

To the young innocent me, that was a puzzling question. (In case you have no idea, Mr. Brightside is a song by The Killers that was popular around 2004)
