dad

It's no secret that dads have a very special sense of humor; they have an entire category of jokes named after them! These tweets and moments are proof that their skill isn't dying down any time soon.

Nothing says "Christmas" like a prank that's been in the works for over a year. Especially when it's pulled on one's father. Londoner Judy Brownexperienced the true spirit of Christmas yesterday when her hard work and prank strategizing paid off. The tale is absolutely glorious.

The struggle is real, y'all. But sometimes it's worth it. 

We've been enjoying Twitter's parenting jokes for some time - and today we've added some "kidding" moments for a little balance. Parents say the darndest things!

The agony. The pure, unadulterated agony of coping with lack of freedom. The FOMO. We lament the dances we missed and the sleepovers we would only hear about when getting to school on Monday. If you feel us, these memes are for you.

Class trips can be a terrifying journey. 20+ kids, thrown into the wilds, begging to be wrangled and wreaking havoc. This clueless Dad learned this lesson the hard way after volunteering to chaperone his kid's field trip. While the journey sounds harrowing, it's a happy ending. All teachers deserve this much respect!

Let's turn those frowns upside down, people. 

This heartwarming comic from Zen Pencils follows the love of a father for his son, and his willingness to do anything to help his son follow his dreams. We're not crying, someone's definitely cutting onions over here.
