4 Ways to Know You're the Dad Friend

Everyone has a particular role in their friend group. The overprotective mom, the drama queen, the jokester, the couch potato, the awkward dad... wait, Dad? If you don't think you're the designated dad friend in your circle of friends, this listicle may have you thinking otherwise.

1. You still think "Rickrolling" is funny.

I won't deny that this was funny when it first appeared on our Windows Vista in 2007. This meme is old, but the song is even older. Please, just give it a rest. There are more funnier, fresh memes out there to entertain yourselves with.

2. You dance like a dad at a barbecue.

When it's time to bust a move on the dance floor, you don't whip. You don't hit that Nae Nae. You don't do the Running Man. You do whatever comes up in your old-fashioned mind. Like a true dad embarrassing their daughter at a family reunion, you don't fail to embarrass your friends, either. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, unless you want to be dubbed the Dad of your group.

3. You're a walking representation of true awkwardness.

It's not like you've just been let out the bird's nest. You've been socializing for years, but you still can't seem to truly get it under your grasp. Don't worry! I just hope that awkwardness doesn't spread to your children.

4. You have way too many puns up your sleeve.

If someone were to look up your Google search history, all they'd probably find is "puns," "puns," and "more puns." Some of the puns you tell are knee slappers, but some of them are just terrible. Just wait to tell your puns at the right time.

There's nothing wrong with acting like a dad. Dads are great! But if you have yet to have children and find yourself under these four characteristics, you should probably take action. And take action fast.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
