Every morning and night I send my adult kids a handful of funny & uplifting memes, dad jokes, warnings about cats, advice, words of encouragement, a theme song of the day, and weird shit. Here’s 50 of the top of the sent pile. Enjoy.

Good morning, cherubs. Brace ourselves. It’s time for dad jokes.

#DadAdvice

I think this is why my wife left me, but that’s not what I told my kids when I sent them this meme.

#DadAdvice

Heeeyyyy!!! ?????

Dats a good boi.

I used my dog’s shampoo after she passed way. It smelled really good. Oatmeal and vanilla.

#Dad_Advice

Each night I end my texts with: I love you. I’m proud of you. I’m grateful you’re in my life. {some random advice; tonight’s was “learn to proceed without uncertainty.”}

Good morning, cherubs. I’m pretty sure this isn’t how any of you came into being.

#Dad_Advice

No, seriously. This works.

I love you. I’m proud of you. I’m grateful you’re in my life. Don’t forget to say thank you for Mothman. He’s watching you from the front porch right now. He’s the shadow standing near the light.

#gnomes

If it could, it would see the ravenous gnomes.

The gnomes wouldn’t be ravenous if you would have shared your Valentino’s pizza. Gnomes love Valentinos pizza.

In fact, everybody loves Valentino’s pizza.

I bet even Jon Stewart would love Valentinos pizza.

I had Valentino’s pizza today. I’m visiting my parents. Been a few years since I had Valentino’s pizza.

I love you. I’m proud of you. I’m grateful you’re in my life. Son #1 is a Virgo. Son #2 is an Aries. Now you’re thinking about your brother’s dick. Stop thinking about your brother’s dick. Weirdos.

Good morning, goofballs. Time to get up. Your pillow looks like this. No, you’re right. It doesn’t. But I made you look. And now that you have, you’re awake.

I always giggle at these jokes. Even in my 50’s.

Beware the cats.

#15 So did you tell your kids to learn to proceed without certainty, or without UNcertainty?

The lesson would be to carry on even if you are unsure, rather than waiting for certainty to be present. Take a risk. He who hesitates is lost?

My life mantra:

‘Everything to gain, nothing to lose.’

So go for it! Carpe diem!

#48 I used to use a spray bottle set on jet stream not mist. Cat would literally do a thing he wasn't allowed to do so I would try to spray him so he could run away and dodge my water attacks. It became a game for him. I had to stop punishing him because it made him do bad things more.

#14 Who are these people sending pics, etc. to phone numbers that are NOT in their address book???
I don't even know any damn numbers anymore so who is typing in 10-digits and hoping they got it right?

#11 I mean if chess is the metaphor, sometimes your last mistake has put you vulnerable to a mate and your next move can't save you at all. Eh.

#42 Yall keep forgetting it wasn't about space. It would sink if both of them were on it.

#27 I used this regularly with all younger *and young at heart* clients when I was a crisis clinician when they needed (and were able to learn) this type of skill. Everyone always got a chuckle at Bubbles

#48 This is Sybil when she starts chewing carpet. She knows it's Bad, and just yelling her name used to get her to stop. Then I had to actually stand up. Now I have to get up and get close enough to ALMOST touch her before she'll stop. And the closer I get, the faster she chews. Sybil for reference:

I feel that.

I feel that. Truly. And I won't pry. But if these days ever get too heavy, hit someone up. Hit me up. We're all in this together. All it takes is acting like it https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1a3Jmc2Jkem1ocmppMTY3dXMxOGQ1ZGtmcHJkZHVleTRibWExNWRtYSZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/o1BNU1jKCih7tK4dwj/200w.webp

As a dad who is not directly connected to this particular conversation - this is motivating as hell to see. Thanks!

Offers on the table for you and anyone else that stumbled into this conversation. As a great man once said, "Apes. Stronger. Together.". I think Caesar said it.
