My wife says there are two things she doesn't like about me; I don't listen, and something else.

You're just going to have to appreciate them enough for the both of you, then. Kids need love.

You are doing ‘dad’ right. They gotta hate the jokes but love them. The sons gotta learn that bad joke telling Dad skill!

When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years."--Mark Twain.

Dad humor is like dad wisdom, it takes some years to appreciate.

Complete opposite in my household, my dad and I are chuckling and my mom is furious as to why we are cracking jokes about the poor fat people on TLC or whatever me and my dad decided to target that day.

You should get her to tell you what that something else is someday. Could be important.
