Wait, I’ll try that again. He is sooooooooooo annoying. Here’s the problem: Dad thinks he’s funny, but he just isn’t. He’s always making really lame jokes. I call them Dad Jokes. These jokes are not funny the first time he tells them, but he repeats them anyway — again and again and again. It’s like he’s trying to be annoying. Maybe your dad’s like this. But I bet his jokes are not as lame as my dad’s. Every night when we all arrive home, it’s my job to set the table for dinner. And every night my Dad sits down in his place and lets his tie dangle so it’s resting on the plate, then he looks up and says, ‘Well I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m having Thai for dinner.’ Then he does this enormous smile, as if he’s the funniest man in the world. And this is every single night. Mum just rolls her eyes, but I get really annoyed. ‘Don’t do that Dad,’ I say to him, ‘don’t ever do that again.’ Part of my problem with dad’s ‘jokes’ is that I’ve just started high school.
