Just realized my 8 year old totally roasted my joke game
My daughter Lily told me my pun about the broken pencil was pointless after I cracked it at dinner last night. She said dad jokes only work if they catch you off guard, not when you announce them like a magic trick. That kid hit me with a truth bomb that made me rethink my whole approach. Any of you guys gotten schooled by a kid on your delivery?

My nephew Max called me out last summer. Told me my knock knock jokes were too rehearsed. Said I sounded like a robot with puns. So I started making them up on the spot about whatever we were doing. Like when he spilled his soda I said "well that's a pop problem." He actually laughed. The surprise is everything with kids.

Did you fake laugh at the pop pun or was it genuine?
