Let’s hear it for the dads. Whether they’re teaching their kids how to ride a bike, enduring hours of dress-up tea parties with their toddlers or navigating the family road trip while wearing their best white sneakers, dads hold a special place in our hearts. So we’re pretty sure they’re also up for scrolling through and laughing at a few dad memes.
Let’s be honest, some of these laughs will come at their expense. Dads have their own unique way of doing things, and sometimes their hilarious and quirky approaches to everything from diaper changes to lawn care make them the subject of some truly funny dad memes.
