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.
Cake It Til You Make It
Kids: Can we have cake for breakfast?

Haters Gonna Hate
Got to our hotel room and it took the kids less than five minutes to make sure that everyone on the floor despises us.

By The Book
Reading parenting books prior to having kids is like earning a degree prior to getting a job.
It's good to know the info, but you quickly learn that nothing compares to real life experience.

What Really Counts
Even if my two year old never actually learns how to count, the way he's able to fake it so convincingly tells me he going to go far in life.

What The Truck?
A FedEx truck AND a UPS truck got stuck behind a trash truck on our street and my son has never been more pumped about anything.
