Dad Jokes

 What is a Dad Joke?

Dad jokes. Depends, don't it, whether you're a Dad telling a joke, or you are an offspringer hearing the joke. Don't it?

What's a "Dad Joke"? A Dad Joke is a joke a Dad tells. Done. Next?

The common take on "Dad Jokes" seems to be that they're  groaners; and eye rollers. "Oh, Dad!"

So why do Dad's keep telling those "Dad Jokes"? To understand that, you have to be a Dad. If you're not, then probably this explanation might cross way overhead. 

A real Dad doesn't care much at all about such like that. You really don't understand being a Dad unless you are a Dad. There's an impassable gulf. 

There's a secret that Dad's know. I'm gonna violate a Dad Rule and let you in on it.

A real Dad carries with him forever the concern over the welfare of his issueance(s). Not a worry, but a bonded caring for his kids. He want's to know his kids are living well, living right. The Dad Joke is his way of getting a reading on his brood. How they react is telling. 

If there's love and bondedness then everyone is in on the joke. It may not even be funny. That's really part of the joke. But when there's love, there's appreciation. If the ungrateful little brats do the "Oh, Dad" eye roll, dismissive reaction, the Old Dad knows he quite possibly added to the world's idiocy. Dullards, who have to be spoon fed "Happy Meals" and sugar coated vitamins, and words and ideas that fit into a nicely decorated box of mutually conspired cherished conformity. 

If you're a kid with a Dad, think about it. You only got one Dad. He's half of you. Laugh.

So, here's a Dad Joke ...

Adding the capper ... "Your Mother and I are getting a divorce, and we're blaming it on you."
