I’ve been friends with a lot of people for over 20 years and my mom pretty much all of them and what’s going on in their lives, at least on a surface level.
My dad? He’s met some of these people dozens of times over the years and he literally has no clue who any of them are. You remember Tim, who used to come over every single day when I was growing up? Nope. A total blank for Dear Old Dad.
And I guess I’m not alone, because people on Twitter have the exact same issue with their Dads. Take a look…
1. Never seen them before.

5. The man needs help.
My dad doesn’t know any of my friends names (none literally none) but he does know Glee actors and their character names on sight. The poor man is broken.

9. You really missed out.
my dad doesn't know all my friends' names so apparently while I was gone the sixth sense guy, the director, and the bully stopped by.

11. Grandpas are still dads.
My boyfriends name is Caiden. We’ve been together for over a year and live literally right next door to my grandpa but he still calls him Cameron.

So accurate and so on-point.
Do these tweets sum up your dad?
