I think that I inherited my strangest quirks from my father – and I'm definitely not the only woman that feels this way! My dad, like many dads in the audience, is a total history nerd. If I ever want to watch a 3-hour documentary about the Mesopotamian Empire, I know that I can go to him for company. That's his rational side, though. He also is a firm believer in ghosts. He grew up in a house that was built in the 1700s, so according to him, he had a ton of paranormal experiences as a kid. So, naturally, we also bond over Ghost Hunters or whether or not we felt "weird vibes" while visiting historical sites.

Dads are strange creatures, and they're all so different that it's hard to generalize. If you're a dad reading this because you're getting ready to scroll down for some relatable dad memes, just know that whatever weird habits and interests you possess will eventually be passed down to your progeny! Don't worry if they're bratty teens now; they'll definitely learn to appreciate your niche tastes.

    Jason Pargin, author of John Di... @JasonKPargin Do Gen Z kids just show up each others' homes unannounced or is that not a thing anymore? When I was a kid there was no texting or cell phones so you'd just be eating lunch or whatever and suddenly a friend would be at your door, without warning. It was awful
