It often seems that a man’s sense of humor evolves when he becomes a father. He develops a remarkable and uncanny ability to work puns and cheesy one-liners into everyday conversations. His family, often lovingly (and cringingly), is likely to refer to such quips as a “Dad joke.”

Some people find that Dad jokes are so bad that they’re actually kind of good.

To celebrate the sense of humor of fathers everywhere, whether it’s corny or wonderful, we’ve compiled some “Best WORST Dad Jokes” supplied by five dads who’ve used them.

One has to admit…the jokes have “Dad” written all over them.

It is said that by the year 2030, one in every five Americans will be older than 65, marking the first time in the United States that people age 65 and older will outnumber children under the age of five.

As the senior-citizen community continues to grow, it’s important to do what each of us can to honor and promote respect for older generations by people of all ages, in a culture known for emphasizing “youth” and “new” rather than honoring age and wisdom.

As a parent, it can be frustrating when your child seemingly is not receiving the attention at school that you believe he or she needs. Sometimes, the child’s teacher or the school or even the child may be limited in what they can do.

What can you do as a parent? Parental support plays a crucial role in childhood education, regardless of a child’s age or grade level.

Here are some ideas for parental involvement in education that can help your child do well in school:

Accidents happen every day. They can happen anytime, anywhere, and to anyone. Although it’s virtually impossible to predict when an accident will occur, you can take steps to make sure that your loved ones will be protected should an accident happen to you.

For example, Gerber Life Accident Protection insurance¹ can financially protect your family in the event of a covered disabling injury or accidental death.

Every September, the kids go back to school, the leaves on the trees begin to change, and the insurance industry gets together to educate Americans on the importance of life insurance…? Yes, that’s right – this September marks the 12th annual Life Insurance Awareness Month, an educational initiative spearheaded by nonprofit organization Life Happens to remind the public to include life insurance in their financial plans.

Each year, hundreds of the nation’s leading insurance companies and industry groups join forces during Life Insurance Awareness Month to spread this message, and Gerber Life is proud to be among them.
