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.

On a flight I once asked the flight attendant to switch my seat as I was sitting next to a screaming baby.
Apparently you're not allowed to do that if it's your own baby.#parenting

A Dad’s Eye View
Watched Moana again for the first time in a while. That opening scene when 3yo Moana is playing by the ocean by herself is terrifying.

Happy Marriage
SON: Where do babies come from?
DAD: One time I put my phone down and listened with meaningful eye contact while your Mom complained at length about her coworkers. 9 months later you were born.

They Learn So Fast
My toddler’s been repeatedly saying “you’re so funny, daddy” and while my heart tells me it’s genuine, everything else tells me she’s discovered sarcasm.

You Were Warned
In fairness to my kid he has told me in no uncertain terms that he has left toy trains all over the house and has advised me not to step on them so there comes a point where this is my fault, really.
