4½ out of 20 for me. I really need to step up my game!
I like to yell “HEY!” and point at a field full of hay bales. The wife almost always looks briefly concerned until she sees it, and then gives me the “a-doy” look. I think she secretly loves it though.
Damn, I’m friggin super-mega-dad over here. I also literally typed this with one finger
My dad always said “let’s rock and/or roll” for departure.
3:
“Glad we’re not going that way…” : I say that often
“It’s not heavy, just awkward.” : I don’t say it often, but I’ve said it before… more than once. I’ve also said “Yea, it’s heavy.”
“People don’t know how to drive in this town.” : Not those exact words, but I think about it EVERY time I’m on a certain road. If there’s someone in the car, they’re going to hear me complain. It’s almost always about the same two issues too… driving under the speed limit in the left lane, and not having any idea how to merge into a different lane… If you can’t merge, you should not be driving.
“That’s how they get you” is a significant part of my personality.
All but the first one.
yeah i hate that, i also dont do the car wash joke either.
Oops, yeah, I don’t do that either since no one here washes their own car.
Shoot - my wife gets at least as many as I do!
Congrats to the gay marriage
Checked every box, passing them on to the next generation. Missed a couple:
Get any on you? - after a belch.
Pull my finger
We’ve normalized saying “bless you” after a good burp lol
My wife cannot abide me asking my son to pull my finger so I save that for when she’s not around.
Get any on you? - after a belch.
😆
Yes. Happy to make your acquaintance, I mean aquarium. I mean to say that if I was paid I would make you an aquarium if I could. I don’t mean you into an aquarium, I mean I would purchase that parts to make an aquarium and then assemble them into one. I don’t mean the aquarium would be just one part, there would be many. I mean just one aquarium, not many. That didn’t take too long! I mean I’m still pooping. Well not by the time anyone reads this. I mean I could be pooping while you’re reading, buy it would be a different poop batch for sure. Hold on. I mean bye.
I read the first column and thought “Huh, guess I’m not as Dad as I thought I was,” but then ticked every box on the second column.
I mean some of them seem very normal and not unique to dads. Like “look horses”, why the fuck would i not tell people that there are horses? That goes for most groups of animals, animals are cool.
I’m fine. How are you?
I always say “flock of cows” to bait someone into saying “herd of cows” so that I can say “of course I’ve heard of cows!” Watching their faces is priceless.
there’s a chance the flock of cows would just pass me by unnoticed as i wrangle the conversation in my head and then hours later i realize something off about it in the shower or in bed
I do this from time to time but with bison. I will casually slip “flock of bison” into a conversation hoping someone corrects me to “herd of bison”. So I can say. “No I hadn’t heard about your bi son. You must be so proud.”
I use school of deer when spotting deer and things like herd, pod or flock of fish while fishing.
I am quite surprised how many Lemmy users have such high scores on the dadness meter.
I am dad of two and I perceive myself as a pretty square, but I have near to 0 points.
You are a disappointment to all dads and kids, clearly.
Hi "quite surprised how many Lemmy users have such high scores on the dadness meter.

I’m dad!
18/20 jfc… This was probably a quarter of that before being a middle aged dad and inheriting my father’s clothes.
