We swore we were not going to tell these joke when we grew up. But then, we grew up.

We used to tell dirty jokes, but then, we had kids. Can't tell those jokes around the kids.

Okay, fine, but we are not going to lose our sense of humor, are we?

Then, one day... we hear ourselves telling a joke that our father told and we hang our head in shame. We just told a groan-worthy "dad joke."

Well, this is who we are now. We see our son looking at us, and we know that expression. He is thinking, "I'll never tell a dad joke, I swear." You just wait kid, it's coming.

HERE ARE THE TOP 20 DAD JOKES OF ALL TIME- the ones we swore we would NEVER tell. Special thanks to Country Living Magazine.
