Trying To Stay Funny Among All This Madness

A few years ago,

I started

Group Texting

my kids.

It is my way,

of letting them know,

that they are in my thoughts everyday.

Even though I am retired,

and I would like to point out that I was very lucky to be able to retire at the age of

Fifty-Three,

and have a lot more free time on my hands now,

my kids are busy as ever with living their lives.

They don't always have the time,

to take out of their busy schedules,

to just sit around

and chat about the weather with me on their cellphones.

So I

Group Text

them a

"Dad Joke"

on a daily basis to keep in touch.

It also keeps them on their toes.

A lot of times,

it also starts a conversation between them,

about how corny I am.

In this way,

I have them communicating with each other too!

What?

You don't know what a

"Dad Joke"

is?

"Dad joke" is a pejorative term used to describe a corny or predictable joke, typically a pun.^[1] Generally inoffensive, dad jokes are traditionally told by fathers among family, either with sincere humorous intent, or to intentionally provoke a negative reaction to its "dagginess". One of the most common "dad jokes" goes as follows: A child will say to the dad, "I am hungry," to which the dad will reply, "Hi, Hungry, I am Dad." Many dad jokes may be considered anti-jokes, deriving humor from an intentionally unfunny punchline. Wikipedia

 My oldest daughter thinks I am so corny with my

"Dad Jokes"

that she thinks I am ruining my kids lives!

My grandson asked me to make him a sandwich. I said,
"Poof, you are a sandwich!"

This is,

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
