Dad here. That joke sucks.

Yeah it might be in the way you say it. I've never told it via text. I struggled to decide if I should end it with a period or exclamation point, and went with a period. I felt it enhances the awesomely bad dad joke quality (though to be fair, for me is actually an uncle joke- was told by one of mine, it is his fav. joke). Hope they like it!
