On Father’s Day, Jimmy Fallon asked the world to give their best #Dadvice and #DadQuotes on Twitter…and the world didn’t let us down. When Dad is normally giving us advice or sharing a personal quote, we can expect them to make some sort of “real world” sense., such as: “Change your oil every 30,000 miles” or “Be sure to carry a can of mace with you if you’re walking alone at night.”
Not these Dads. These Dads have other amazing advice and quotes to share with their children, and I can’t stop laughing. My stomach literally hurts. Go ahead and read to see why!
#1: Don’t let people know how dumb you are.
“When you start a new job, don’t talk a lot. This way they won’t know how dumb you are.” I said,”Thanks, dad!” Guess he was right. #Dadvice
