Father and kids laughing together

Laughter is powerful. And parents have a unique ability to bring laughter into their children's lives. When our kids were younger, we would end our days with family devotions and prayer. After praying together, we would say goodnight to the kids as they would go off to bed.

I frequently made numerous, cringe-worthy dad jokes throughout the days, but I decided I wanted to give everyone yet another reason to laugh or at the very least smile at my attempt at a good joke. So right before saying goodnight to the kids, I started telling them a nightly Chuck Norris fact. Over time, the kids began to look forward to hearing the corny joke before bed and even started looking for jokes to tell me. We made some great memories with this simple habit and had many great laughs.

If you are looking for a way to bring some more laughter to your home, this might be an easy way to do so. There are many good, clean jokes you can find online. Here are 100 dad jokes to get you started…
