As a dad, there’s nothing better than hearing other people articulate some truth from the wild world of parenting. It helps remind us 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 parents regularly share the funny, silly, frustrating, and truthful events that happen in their lives. To that end, here are ten of the best dad tweets from this week.
Horse Sounds
3-year-old: Want to hear my horse sounds?
Me: Okay.
3: Hello.
Me: That's talking.
3: It's a talking horse.

Relive Your Youth
Your kids have a way of making you relive your youth.
Like when I'm watching my toddler take an hour to eat one banana, I think back to my younger years without kids.
