Wow. We're at my in-laws. Had a birthday party for my MIL & FIL. After dinner, my son asked me how to be funny. There were more than a few "comedians" present. I told him that everyone's different. He wouldn't let it go, so I taught him a few "Dad Jokes." Not even bad ones - good ones!
So he practices with me in another room, and nails them. Excited, he runs to tell the jokes to everyone. This takes fuckin' GUTS. He tells the jokes, FLAWLESSLY. And he gets BOOED. Mind you, he's fucking SIX YEARS OLD. I am LIVID, and not even my wife understands. I gave him two more jokes, which he nailed. Same response. Fucking disgusting. I asked him how it made him feel. He said it made him feel bad . I told him to tell them, and he did. They just discounted his feelings. But, he stood up for himself, and it also gave me an opportunity to tell my son how damn proud of him I am. You bet your ass I am!
