Lower than I thought, but still higher than I'd care to admit.
4, no surprise, I am not fit to be a parent.
I'm checking enough that I stopped counting
A lot of these are default reactions in Germany (also by women).
Only 7. I feel like I’m letting my children down.
Checked every box, passing them on to the next generation. Missed a couple:
Get any on you? - after a belch.
Pull my finger

"That's how they get you" is a significant part of my personality.
18/20 jfc... This was probably a quarter of that before being a middle aged dad and inheriting my father's clothes.
16, and that's just the things I've said this week
Clicks the tongs
Slaps the hood
Kicks the tire
I read the first column and thought "Huh, guess I'm not as Dad as I thought I was," but then ticked every box on the second column.
I mean some of them seem very normal and not unique to dads. Like "look horses", why the fuck would i not tell people that there are horses? That goes for most groups of animals, animals are cool.
Eight-ish? Dad of two nearing fifty so I guess I'm on par for the course.
One is discovered thanks to US memes is the dad uniform including New Balance. I bought some NB when I was in China and I have to say they really are comfy.
The one about awkward loads is hilarious to me. Because it really is true though. You can lift a shit ton more if you've a good grip! I can hardly lift a washing machine, but I can carry one on my back without issue.
Been a die hard for New Balance since college. It's just a good shoe, dad-ness not withstanding

I'm a childless dude in his 40s and I tick several if you replace "kids" with other family/coworkers/etc.
4½ out of 20 for me. I really need to step up my game!
"Smells good!" When nothing smells good
All but two.
I’m fine. How are you?
Damn, I’m friggin super-mega-dad over here. I also literally typed this with one finger
Yes.

I only have one of these. And all my coworkers tell me I have the best dad jokes. I kind of feel like a fraud.
