Being a dad has one of two outcomes on your creativity: it either kills it completely or forces every ounce of originality you ever had into pithy observations and sly comebacks. Some of us keep these asides to ourselves, others test them out on our partners. But the bravest among us hit up Twitter.
Twitter is a social media platform that may seem to be primarily made up of confusing memes and wild youths, but there are a lot of cool parents on there, too. Or at least we think we’re cool. Dads use Twitter to share the funny, silly, frustrating, and truthful events that happen in their lives. Some of them are famous. Some of them are Twitter-famous. Some of them are both. One thing is for sure: all of them are funnier than any of us.
And whether you are a brand new dad or a seasoned veteran in the parenting game, it always helps to laugh along with these hilarious dudes who are going through the same wonderful madness that comes with trying to raise a tiny human being. With that in mind, here a few of the best and funniest dad tweets from this week, including the existential downside of pets, how parenting is like wrestling, and why dads have a right to their kids’ fries.
Me, Myself, & Fry
It’s my right as a Dad to eat half the kids fries on the way home.
Don’t @ me.

What The Truck
He died doing what he hated most – tripping over one of his son's toy trucks and falling down the stairs of an overly-warmed house with too many lights on.

We are getting an IKEA in my town shortly which is great because it gives me an entirely new place to lose my kids in public.
