My son just commanded (in his four-year old way) my wife to bring him a cup of milk, with a straw.
She got one from the draw, and in doing so, she exclaimed "Oh no, it appears we've run out of straws!"
I pointed to the beverage and proclaimed, deliriously happy for the opportunity to do so, "that's it, that really is, absolutely, the last straw!"
I found that disproportionately amusing.
Sorry.
It's drawer......
Sorry.......
you are now officially a dad. There is no cure. You will make crap jokes for the rest of your life
and yep, it's not a bad one 🙂

You may have been labouring under the misconception that having offspring made you A Dad. It did not, it merely made you a parent. Cracking that appalling joke, though: *that* made you A Dad.
Congratulations. Welcome to Dad Club. Your book of terrible dance moves is in the post with your complimentary cardigan, pipe and slippers.

You're right- it's absolutely the last drawer!
Apologies, yes, it is of course drawer. Normally I'm the one pointing that sort of thing out!
I proudly look forward to a life of Dad-dancing, bad jokes and parental embarrassment in the future!
Leffeboy and Mintimperial are absolutely right. Your youth may be going, but you are handsomely compensated by the ability to produce PURE COMEDY GOLD* at the drop of a hat.
*in the opinion of other Dads.
I like this - is there a button I should click?
Hey, at least you didn't have to console him over a spill.
Can I join too?
My boy had lunch involving peas. A single pea rolled off his fork, bounced off the table and rolled across the kitchen floor.
I pointed and said 'an esca-pea' (escapee - it really didn't work when written!)
In our house he'd have - aha - 'Pea'd on the floor'
Cue much giggling.
and we wondered where Miranda got all that material from
strawer surely?

Nah, we're not posh enough to have a drawer simply for straws!
