> Is it really only dads who can tell dad jokes?

If you're not a dad and tell a dad joke, then you're a faux pa.

At this point in the discussion, I’m in the perfect position to testify that this is a fantastic dad joke – but no wonder: after all, it comes from my parent.

The best part of this joke is how the punchline slowly becomes a parent.

[quercusa]

Concise, on point, unexpected - a perfect specimen.

I came to this thread for the Dad jokes.

[mmmpop]

Wow, just how long have you been hanging onto that one?

[aidenn0]

Maybe 2 or 3 years? It's just a bummer I heard it after becoming a dad, because I've had an unending love for bad humor as long as I can remember.

I have enjoyed that one for a while. My wife and I are expecting that I will give up that joke in a few weeks for the same reason.

Congratulations?

(You can always tell when a parent is congratulating you as there is that lilt on the end that signifies they aren't certain that having to take care of an infant is an event definitely worth congratulating).

[hluska]

Hahahahaha, I relate. I want to say ‘congratulations’ but also want to say “holy shit, welcome to an 18 month long hangover.” :)

[Cerium]

Thanks aidenn0 and hluska for the 'congratulations'. I think I know I'm in for a wild adventure, but I also know I don't know anything. :)

I think after toilet training that lilt tends to go away. Those first months are hard but it does get easier.
