Dad and Son comic

Let’s admit it. Dad can be quite funny. I mean YOUR dad or YOU, if you’re a dad. And, often it’s in the embarrassing column! My boys are always on edge wondering what THEIR dad might do to embarrass them.

Let’s share FUNNY stories of our dads at #DadChat this Thursday, June 12 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET in honor of Father’s Day.

We might have a giveaway or two!
