    Because no one forgets a good Dad Joke.

    People - ELL Dad comes home from work, my brother and I are playing the NES in our bedroom. He pops his head in, "Hello boys. Just playing your Seven-Eight-Don't?" We look at him, confused. He squints at the console. "Oops, my mistake-- that's a Nine-Ten-Do!" Such an awful Dad joke, but we cracked up at the time. We were in tears. 20 years later and we still reference it, while Dad can't believe we even remember it.
