Hi, dads. I can't really say that I am a dad, but I certainly have one. He's a real stereotype of a dad, too. I live quite far from my parents, and so I don't see them too often throughout the year. We send each other brief texts every day, but sometimes I find myself slacking, in which case, he'll point out that I'm being awfully quiet and unresponsive and that he misses me. However, when I call them on Saturday for our weekly chat, my dad is always off doing yard work and unavailable to talk for more than a minute. He's not really into deep talks, and I guess he mostly just wants to confirm that I am still alive. 

My dad loves to pamper me when I come to visit – in his own way, of course. He's the guy I can always count on to want to watch a history documentary with me, and he's always ready to drop everything to grill me up some veggie burgers. If you're a dad looking for a chuckle, scroll down for the best parenting memes I could find.

  • No! I know my parents' heart broke when I started pronouncing “library” correctly. I know this because they still tell me about it a quarter of a century later.

  • Honestly, that's fine. Kids growing up in the 90s had the Saturday Morning Cartoons. Gen Alpha can totally have their Saturday Afternoon YouTube and Netflix.
