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.

Caught my toddler stealing cookies out of the grocery bag while we were driving home so I made him smoke the whole pack.

Where Did The Time Go?
Parents, look at this way. We may have lost an hour of sleep, but at least our kids get an extra hour of daylight… so they can argue about going to bed at their normal time because it's still light out outside.

After listening to my son and his friends go in on me and my dad shoes for the past 15 minutes I've come to the conclusion that I'm in no way cut out for elementary school these days.
