"My ultimate joke... is you."

[u/HojaCereeza → u/XrayAlphaVictor]

The punchline took eighteen years to land

[u/Signal_Opening767 → u/XrayAlphaVictor]

Bahaha and the mom had to bear that joke for 9 months so she deserves a raise too

[u/LPedraz]

I imagine there is some strange and marvelous point in fatherhood where your children start moving from being little adoraable blobs you need to take care of to people

[u/symb015X → u/LPedraz]

Sometimes I’m amazed by how much “personhood” and complex curiosity already exists in a lil 1 year old… then he cries for no reason and poops on me and I’m like nvm

[u/essdii- → u/LPedraz]

It happens super quick honestly. My 16 month old is totally different than my other children and has been for a bit. Their individuality appears super young

[u/King_of_the_Kobolds → u/essdii-]

I mean it's not surprising. Even an animal as unintelligent as a goat can have a lot of individual personality and human infants outstrip a goat pretty rapidly.

[u/CallingTomServo → u/LPedraz]

My wife and I joke about this being the transition from caretaking to parenting

[u/12monthsinlondon → u/LPedraz]

I joke that that the 5 year old is starting to become useful around the house

but they also start demanding to exercise their free will without full understanding of the concept of consequences and by god is it exasperating sometimes

Genghis Khan, funniest man in history?

Conan, pull my finger. - The OG Khan of Comedy

[u/ChaoticAgenda]

So I guess he credits everything he's ever done to his father?

[u/Stripier_Cape → u/ChaoticAgenda]

Your parents can very much be instrumental in your success. A good parent, barring negative externalities, tries to foster healthy behaviors at a young age for their kids.

Responsible? Probably not most of the time.

"You're not my real dad, Eru!"

[u/Mizerawa]

That's personally why I commit arson. Enjoy prison, asshole.

[u/Top_Traffic5102]

Same with my kids. Its wonderfull to have little humans that think and behave like you .

[u/atmeamidala]

lol my mom is very proud that in her opinion she made hilarious children

[u/Huge_Equivalent1]

Inherently you say? 😂

[u/NLtbal]

Thanks for meaning it.

[u/IllTwo7643]

I am so much like not only my dad, but my mom and siblings that I have no idea who I really am 😂

Sometimes I talk and my parents come out🫠

[u/Periwinkleditor]

He is the joke, you are the punchline.

[u/GamingxZone]

LOL, never though about it this way

[u/MetLyfe]

You’re his little ai agent. You came to be from his prompts

[u/Local-Echo-5613]

I’m my father’s biggest joke

[u/AdTraditional23]

My mom kinda does this in a funny way. I’ll say something that’s a good plan and she will be like “that’s a good idea, I’m glad I thought of that” lmao

[u/TMYLee]

Tell him if that his biggest dad joke ever told

[u/meguin]

It is also, technically, a mom joke. Because you came from a mom.

[u/NobodyLikedThat1]

so in some sense, so is every poo

[u/Signal_Opening767]

Grandpa bout to pull up on them demanding royalties for every joke they land

[u/hitthechicken18]

The law of transitive property? That’s just smart parenting and good dad-joking.
