My best dad jokes so far this month!
It’s the 1st of the month, which means last night and today have been ideal for my traditional end-of-the-month and beginning-of-the-month dad jokes.
My 7-year-old daughter still thinks my jokes are funny (usually), but not my wife. I’ll admit that these three dad jokes are really lame — unlike my usual humor, which my family and people online sometimes get to delight in suffer through — but as a father I’m contractually obligated to tell jokes like this. (My humor really is better than this normally, I promise!)
Good night, sweetie! I’ll see you next month!
It’s time to get up, sleepyhead — you’ve been sleeping all month!
You haven’t brushed your teeth since last month?! Eww! (etc.)
Just wait until New Year’s comes around!
Why do dads tell dad jokes? Well after I asked that, I decided to thoroughly research it by clicking on the very first Google result that came up.
It’s apparently a way for dads to create bonds with their kids , show they’re smart, and also be self-deprecating so if people laugh at them, it’s all part of the fun.
At least according to a professor who teaches the theory of comedy and a Canadian comedian in this HuffPost article.
So by telling dad jokes, I’m actually carrying on the tradition of classical Roman playwrights. I’ll make sure to mention that the next time my wife rolls her eyes at one of my dad jokes. I’m sure that will go over well!
