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.
The Sound of Silence
Even people who never want to have kids, may everyone know the peace of a house with a child asleep.

I Want Candy
I hope my kids are impressed with how resourceful the Easter Bunny is for filling eggs with steeply discounted Valentine’s Day candy.

Just Desserts
I threatened my son with no dessert if he didn't finish his pancake covered in syrup for dinner. It worked! He ate his pancake AND dessert and I have succeeded as a father.

Curious how long it will take for my wife to comment on the fact that I've set up a children's adjustable basketball hoop in the middle of our living room.
