As a dad, there’s nothing better than hearing from other people who can empathize about or articulate some truth from the wild world of parenting. It helps you understand that fatherhood is a shared pursuit and, well, that crazy stuff happens to every parent. There’s no better display of this than on Twitter, where dads regularly share the funny, silly, frustrating, and truthful events that happen in their lives. Here are ten of the best dad tweets from this week.

Jingle Yells
