Funny Fathers: Mathematical Prodigy
‘When I was in the 3rd grade, one evening I was solving my Math homework with my mom. Like any other kid, I wanted to go down and play with my friends instead of dividing complex fractions. My mother refused to let me go down and play and insisted that I should finish my homework first. So with teary eyes, I continued doing my homework.
Later, when my mom went to the kitchen to start prepping for dinner, my dad saw me crying and solving math problems. We made a deal, that he would finish the rest of my homework so that I could go down and play with my friends. After my play time was over I came back up and still got a scolding from my mom. Not because she found out that I made a secret deal with my dad, but because all the math problems were solved incorrectly. I guess now I know where I get my bad math skills from…’

Funny Fathers: The Parking Mystery
‘I was in 3rd or 4th grade and my mom’s birthday was coming up. I wanted to buy her a gift without her knowing, so my dad suggested that after school I meet him at the mall. Once we finished shopping, we went to the parking lot, and my father could not remember where he’d parked his car. We had to search the entire parking lot multiple times but we just could not locate the car. A good hour later, he took me to a nearby store, bought me a cold drink and suddenly, he exclaimed, “Arre haan! (Oh Yes!)”. He remembered entering the parking lot, seeing there was no space for the car and he had therefore parked it on the other side of the road. That was the last time I ever went shopping with him alone!’

Funny Fathers: Egg Heads
‘When my brother was about 6 my dad pulled him aside, with two eggs, he took my brother and told him he was going to smash it on his head. My brother freaks, dad chases him around the house, grabs him, smashes the egg on his head. There is no mess, it doesn’t even really come apart just cracks. My dad shows him its just a gag; it’s been boiled.
He hands my brother the other egg, and says, “go get mom.” 30 seconds later my mother is covered in raw egg yelling at my father, my brother is confused and in tears. Problem?’

Funny Fathers: Demon Duck
‘When I was growing up we had a concrete Donald duck statue in our backyard. My dad knew that the neighbourhood kids, my brothers and I all thought this things was pretty creepy. It was pretty far back in the yard. One day he moved in about a foot closer to the house. Every so often he would move it another foot or so. This made me really paranoid, and made me think I was seeing things. Sometimes he would move it really close to the house, and when we would run to tell someone, he would move it back to where it was. My dad thought it was hilarious. Eventually we were all convinced it was possessed, so we smashed it and each kid took a piece to bury in their own yard all over the neighbourhood. Good times.’

Funny Fathers: Evil Sheep!
‘When I was younger, I always had a really irrational fear of sheep. I never knew where I got it from, but every time I saw one, I wanted to curb stomp it.
Years later, my mom tells me that when I was a baby, I had a stuffed sheep doll. My dad used to hold it and play with it with me, and he would say, “Nice sheep, nice sheep” and do licking motions with it on my little innocent baby face. Then, out of nowhere, he would say, “EVIL SHEEP!” and then have the sheep turn savage try to “gore” my throat out.
Yeah. Cheers dad.’

Funny Fathers: Tomato Trolling
‘My dad used to take packets of ketchup from fast food places and make a small tear at the top of the packet. He would then place the packet under each nub of the toilet seat. This was so the next person who sat down got squirted in the back of the legs. He then waited outside the door and took a quick photo of the pissed off person opening the door when they were done cleaning up. He’d mix it up, not do it for weeks, then do it several times a day. It got to the point you just lifted the seat to look every time you had to go. But then he’d get us at neighbours and friends houses.
He has a photo album in his study of HUNDREDS of pictures of us kids and family in various states of distress at bathroom doors flipping him off. There’s a complete stranger in there too from a time he tried to get me at a McDonalds and booby trapped a stall, but I went to another one instead. Some poor sucker got nailed and Dad took a picture anyway and ran. I mean literally ran. We all LOLed hard from our table to see him bolt.’

Funny Fathers: Uno Reverse
‘When I was around 12 I thought it would be funny to startle my Dad when he was coming in the house after work. I hid in the sewing room downstairs, and waited for him to come in though the garage door. The room was pretty dark, my dad opens the door takes a few steps in, that is when I spring out from my hiding place wearing a goblin mask. He jumps up in the air lets out a man bellow of fear and, without a pause, starts grasping at his chest and pulling at his shirt and tie.
He falls to the floor gasping for air and grabbing at his chest. I immediately go to his side, freaking out, and screaming “dad! dad! I am sorry, oh god, I am sorry, are you okay???” Before my eyes, my dad expires.. i am crying, then he opens his eyes sits up and starts laughing at me before asking, “what’s for dinner?” I thought I had caused my dad to have a heart attack.’

Funny Fathers: Frank Fila MVP
‘When I was in elementary school, all the cool kids wore the Air Jordan shoes. So naturally I really wanted them. Every time we went into a shoe store I would ask for them. Of course, dad didn’t want to spend like 50$ on a pair of shoes for a 10 year old. He told me about this legendary basketball player named Frank Fila. He was supposedly better than Michael Jordan back in the day. I wasn’t sure at first but he’d get the people working at the stores to play along. I ended up walking out of the store with a 30$ pair of Fila shoes. The best part is, I told my friends about Frank Fila, and they all believed me.’

Funny Fathers: Stupid Sucker
‘This is more of him pranking himself, but it was still really funny. For some reason he had this really powerful suction cup. I can’t remember what it was for. I think it was for holding something on his car or the fridge or whatever. Anyway, he was curious about how powerful it was, so he stuck it on his forehead. It was so stuck on there it was worse than glue. He started pulling at it (which was the worst mistake he made). After a few hours of walking around the house trying to find things to use to pry it off, he got it. It left behind a throbbing red circle right in the middle of his forehead which lasted for weeks. We went to church with it like that.’

Funny Fathers: In The Dark
‘When I was younger, my dad used to go sit on the front porch at night and call me outside. After I got there he would point out into the yard and ask if I heard something. While my attention was turned to looking out into the darkness he would run inside and lock me out, leaving me by myself scared of whatever he heard desperately trying to open the door.’
