 The following is made possible by dad. Why was the basketball court all wet? Because the players kept dribbling all over it. The dad joke. Corny, groan-worthy, but also one of the simplest ways to share a moment with your kids. Why do you have to be careful when spraining cats and dogs? Because you might step in a poodle. And kids that spend more time with their dads grow up to be smarter, more successful.
