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.
Finally Ready
The Boy Scouts are dropping the word 'Boy' from their name and within seconds my dad called me to say, "Looks like they're finally ready for ya."

*Dragging my son by the collar to my 20 year high school reunion.*

Sound Strategy
7-year-old: Can I wear high heels?
Me: Why?
7: So I can reach the candy.
Valid fashion choice.

Pinky and the Brain
My kids are like Pinky and the Brain.
Every night they think, “Geee, what should we do tonight?”
Then they do the same thing they do every night—they try to get out of going to bed.

Morning Routine
I like to lay all my clothes out neatly ready for work in the morning.
Jack likes to jump on my clothes before I get to put them on.
This is my excuse for looking like crap, and I'm sticking with it.#parenting #dadlife

Parenting by the numbers:

My favorite thing my daughter says to me every single day is "when you die I'm going to get all your money. Have a good sleep."
