Midsummer has just passed; that means that we are truly in the thick of the dog days right now. You know what that means? Dads everywhere are firing up their grills for the summer. To a dad, there is truly nothing better than powerwashing the deck, cracking open a cold one, and grilling up some meat for the entire family. My dad has already sent me no less than 4 selfies of himself grilling. I don't live at home anymore, but I've been a vegetarian since I was 13. So, he got into the habit of adding sweet potatoes, corn, and zucchinis to his usual grill rotation.

Cooking up a BBQ for the whole family takes a lot of work! If you're currently manning the grill, waiting for your meats to get a perfect char on them, scroll down for some pure comedy gold. We've got dad jokes, parenting memes, and a few gems that only dads will truly understand.
