Father: "So, how does it feel being a dad?"
Son: "It feels good. I'm a bit scared of course, but so excited at the same time. How does it feel being a grandfather?"
Father: "It feels pretty great. You've always been a good son and I've been patiently waiting for this special moment. There's something now that I have to give you."
The son watches curiously as his father pulls a large tome out of his backpack with exquisite text on the cover: 'The Big Book of Dad Jokes'.
Father: " For generations these sacred texts have been passed down through the patriarchs of our family. My father gave it to me when you were born and now, as a new father yourself, I bestow it to you. With this book you will have all the knowledge needed to become a truly great Dad."
Son: " Wow, Dad, this is amazing! Truly! I'm... I'm honored."
The father smiles as he extends his arm out to shake his son's hand and says,
"Nice to meet you, Honored. I'm Dad."
Because theyβre the scenter.
Children of the "Quarn"
Edit: at the age of 13, we shall bestow upon them the rank of "Quaran-teen"
Last week I left the delivery room to go meet my dad so that he could meet his first grandchild for the first time.
Emotions were high and smiles all around... and he was carrying a Costco tub of mixed nuts he had been snacking on.
All visitors must wash their hands before entering the room and as I was opening the door he got me with "Can you handle my nuts?"
I could hear his proud giggling as I walked away shaking my head... he has bestowed on me a great responsibility.
