I asked him if they just sit around teaching him dad jokes at dad school.
"No they just have us fill out a form. But my form is perfect."
And that I'd be meeting my new parents that afternoon.
So I could have twice as many dad jokes.
They said “hell no, why would we pick you”?
"Do you want aunts? Cause that's how you get aunts!"
But why every day?
For the youngest siblings recent 9th birthday I put 9 dollars in a block of ice (had to bribe a local butcher shop to let me put a cooler in their freezer, worth it) But I need some long term ideas, because I intend to show this family with a lack of dads the full scope of dad jokes
you are adopted.
Son replies: I knew it. I've got so much questions.
Parents: Pack your things. Your new Parents come in 2 hours
Adopt a ladder that lost its parents.
Dad: You're adopted.
Me: Wh..? I don't get it.
"Dad" (laughing): Neither did your real parents!
Setting: At a restaurant with my newly adopted brother and my parents.
The server comes to the table and gets our drink orders, introduces herself, etc. After she walks away the following conversation ensues.
Brother: Did she say her name is Shinomy?
Dad: Shinomy?
Brother: She don't know you!
My wife and I just went from the bottom of the adoption waiting list to having a baby of our own on 20 hours notice. We're standing by his basinet in the hospital.
She asks me "Is this really happening?"
"A-parent-ly!"
My aunt and uncle recently adopted an Ethiopian boy. His first night in the states, he had pizza off the kids menu at Olive Garden. It was a small personal pizza, with an obvious circle shape. Couple days later, had pizza at his new parents. It was cut into the triangular shape. He went to school for the last day of the semester just to see what it was like, and they had square pizza.
Not knowing what the shapes were called in English, he drew the shapes for us. When he told us it was square pizza, my dad yelled out "they're cutting corners!"
