Every kid loves a dad (or mom) joke, and you can totally add a little of that dorky spice to your compliments for them. Here's a little inspiration to get you started:

  • Just wanted to warn you. I'm going to be so happy to see you after school that I'll be the most embarrassingly affection parent in the pickup line.
  • You're as sweet as a bear without teeth. Get it? A gummy bear?
  • Just needed to tell you I'm pretty sure you're way smarter than the dog.
  • You're so funny you've turned me into an egg. That's right. You crack me up.
  • What if I got a magic machine that would shrink you super small so I could carry you around in my pocket and show off my amazing kid to people all day long? That would be totally cool with you, right?

  • Dude, you work harder than a kindergarten teacher on the day after Halloween.
  • If I have to spend eight hours a day working instead of eating chocolate and watching TV, at least I get to do it with you.
  • Without you, work would feel like work. Oh, wait. Well, at least you're here.
  • Clearly you're a magician, because you just made that work, and I don't see your rabbit anywhere.
