A Dad Humor Diversion

I’m a master in the art of dad jokes. The more it makes you groan and roll your eyes, the better. The other day, while my brother-in-law was working on a patio we hired him to install, I was full of them:

  • As he was using a leveling tool to make sure the dirt he poured was even: “So I see you leveled with that dirt.”
  • As he was cutting away some roots: “Glad to see you getting to the root of the problem.”

With all the difficult things society must grapple with these days (a pandemic and racially charged civil unrest to name two of the biggest), a little dad humor is something we all need. You simply may not realize it yet.

And so, I give you some recent favorites. Groan, shake your head and be free of your worries, if only for a few seconds.
