More of a thot experiment really.
I said in the stadium.
Me: "Hey, can you put all those bags in that back?"
Dad: "Sure,.... I guess that makes me the BAGdad"
ME: ... -_-
We were celebrating my other niece's 2nd birthday, when my 5-year-old niece comes up to me and says, "Hey Uncle, wanna play a game?"
"Sure. What game?"
"You pick a letter and I say three words that start with that letter."
Since it was her sister's birthday, I picked "B", assuming that sheโll probably say "Birthday".
She was like, "Okayโฆ B... B... BB..."
I sat there for a second in a moment of defeat...
"Yes. Those are all words."
You little shit.
Edit for the Dad-impaired: "Be... Bee... BB..."
2nd Edit: Awesome! Each of my nieces got me to the top of this sub! Here's the one about the 2-year-old.
After his baseball game, we picked up some take-out food for the family. Driving home and now dark, he and I see three people walking along the shoulder of our street, all wearing dark clothes. I almost hit one of them. I say, shaking my head, "Look at these idiots, wearing dark clothes at night...someone's gonna get run over."
He replies, from the back seat, "Yeah...they're not too bright."
On a road trip, so we are playing "the alphabet game." We pick a topic, then take turns going up the alphabet until someone gets stuck.
Topic is "things that will kill you."
M.... "megalodon" says the average 10yo boy
N.... "not buckling up" says the cautious 14 yo daughter
O.... "ONOMATOPOEIA!" Shouts the unconventional 12yo girl. "Bam! Pow! Boom!"
We have a winner!
And he joined the kids playing a pick up game while I talked to the coaches.
The coach said, "He's pretty good, what is he, four?"
I said, "I have no idea what he's for. "
Last night I was being demolished by a friend while playing. In the middle of the game, my dad (whoโs an excellent pool player) calls me. I pick up and tell him Iโm losing at pool and need a pro tip from him. He tells me:
Donโt get wet...
Back in the 90s, I remember playing some N64 after school when my dad came home from work. He comes into the living room and asks me what's up and, as a teen, I say "nuthin" and keep playing while he just stands there. Out of the corner of my eye, I can see he's looking at me with a stupid grin on his face that's he's trying to suppress poorly. Finally, he asks me to pause the game. I turn to him and he asks "You want a Hertz donut?" I obviously know this joke, but to make it worse, he's already making a fist, ready at his side. I roll my eyes and say "No, I do not want a Hertz donut." He just relaxes his hand and says surprised "Oh, you don't? You sure?" I say I'm sure and he says okay and walks back out to his car, leaving me to return to my GoldenEye. A few seconds later, he comes strolling back in the room, with a box of a dozen donuts in his hand, while he's eating one, with the same stupid grin on his face. On the box of donuts, "Dunkin" has been crudely crossed out and Hertz written beneath it in Sharpie marker. He walks into the kitchen saying "Guess you won't be having these Hertz donuts!" I'm in awe. I follow him into the kitchen and he finally relents and lets me take a donut. I ask him "So, you bought these donuts, and just put this joke together on the way home?" He says he thought of the joke earlier in the day at work and had to buy the donuts for the bit. I start laughing hysterically thinking about him sitting at work itching to leave to pull this off. As we sit there, quietly eating these donuts, he breaks the silence with a mouth full of donut, with "Had to stop at CVS to pick up a Sharpie too." I almost choked on the donut jimmies.
TLDR: Dad offered a Hertz donut, should've taken him up on it.
I'm constantly dadding my fiancรฉ with bad dad jokes. Recently she's been upping her game.
Driving through the city, the song "With or Without You" comes on the radio.
It starts kind of slow, so I ask "Is this U2?"
Fiancรฉ replies "No."
The song picked up a bit and I quickly realized that it was in fact U2.
Me: "Yeah it is, see?!?"
Fiancรฉ: "I don't sing this song!"
Me: groan
Dad came by to pick up my niece and nephew who'd stayed overnight, and there was a hockey game on between the Minnesota Wild and Florida Panthers. My dad looked at the TV and says:
Where's Florida?
Southeastern part of the US. Big peninsula. You've probably seen it on a map?
I mean, sure, he was asking for it, but man it felt good to get the master back.
So my dad thought he would try the ultimate dad joke card game with my 4 year old daughter... good old 52 card pick up!
They sit down, he gets her excited to play, he does the cards all over thing and they both laugh. My 4 year old daughter then picks up 2 cards and says "Here you go!" in a drop mic fashion and walks away to go play something else. She handed him a 5 and a 2.
Very short backstory: My dad has a huge-ish garden full of all sorts of vegetables.
So anyway, We're in the garden and I saw a giant beet sticking out of the ground so I picked it up, turned to my dad and say, "Sorry dad, I dropped the beet". I finally got him at his own game.
We were at a rugby game and I offered my dad my mints, he took one and put the packet on the floor with a grin. I said why'd you put them there? He replied "they're for Ron." I asked who Ron was He replied with "he's just late." About 30 seconds past and I looked at him dumbfounded and asked him where and who this mysterious Ron is? He picked up the mints ate the last couple and said "I was just saving them for Later on" Edit: not sure I made sense but Later on.... LateRon.... Late Ron ughhhh
My Dad plays this App Game on his iPad and part of it is part of a "Clan" made up of various team mates from all over the world. Whenever their character levels up they get to pick certain power ups and my Dads due to Level up soon. He had the following conversation with his team mates.
Dad - "On my next Level I'm gonna get a Piecost"
Team Mate 1 - "What's one of those?"
Team Mate 2 - "I've never seen one, what are they?"
Team Mate 3 - "YEAH. WHATS A PIECOST?"
Dad - "About ยฃ1.50!"
I work at a "field house" before home football games, serving beer n' what not, and a large chunk of what I make is off of tips that come in envelopes. As I pick my envelope of tips up I hear a jingle of coins inside of the envelope. Dramatically I stop and stare at my boss,
"Everything okay?" - boss
"Yeah everything is fine, I just didn't expect this much change in my life."
The surrounding co-workers groaned at the joke, but as I am leaving a lone drunkard walks up to me, gives me a high five, and congratulates me on fatherhood.
