Tell me you are a dad without telling me you are a dad

Dads are a special breed. They’ve got their quirks, their one-liners, and their very own brand of logic that the rest of us will never fully understand. Dads have a way of doing life that’s uniquely… dad. But this is why we love them!

With Father’s Day around the corner, we thought we’d celebrate the jokes, the habits, and the unmistakable traits that make dads the legends they are.

I’m sure you can relate to more than a few of these…

• “I can fall asleep in under 3 minutes on any couch, anywhere.”
• “I have one pair of cargo shorts… and I’ve had them since 2006.”
• “I know exactly which remote batteries are dead, but I’ll still put them back in the drawer — just in case.”
• “I measure time in how many sausages I can cook before the footy starts.”
• “My knees make more noise than my kids.”
• “I’ve said ‘close the door, we’re not cooling the whole neighbourhood’ at least 3 times today.”
• “I can fix anything with duct tape, WD-40, and sheer confidence.”
• “I refuse to hire a tradie… right before driving to Bunnings for the third time this morning.”
• “I’ve never met a Dad Joke I didn’t like — or repeat.”
• “I complain about petrol prices… while filling up my V8 ute.”
• “My ‘day off’ involves mowing the lawn, cleaning the gutters, and fixing something I didn’t break.”
• “I’ve got a special whistle that calls the entire household instantly.”
• “I tell everyone I don’t want anything for Father’s Day… but I’ll sulk if I don’t get anything.”
