Do you ever find yourself watching the news, listening to the Toto Radio on Pandora, or find yourself suddenly interested in American politics? It's almost as if you continuously grow into some form of a stereotrypical dad. Yeah, me too. If you catch yourself doing any of these things, you might just be a dad trapped in the body of a college student:

1. You can be caught in a flannel and a baseball cap three days out of the week.

2. You tell really corny jokes.

3. Or worse: you laugh at your own jokes.

4. You find yourself looking up slang or pop culture references on Urban Dictionary quite often.

5. You never remember where you left your *insert item of importance here*

6. You start DIY projects but never finish them or they go incredibly wrong.

7. You dance totally unselfconsciously.

8. You leave your loved ones voicemails even though you know it's more efficient to just text them.

9. You watch Jeopardy and don't mind it.

10. You're an all around dork

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me.
