7 Hilarious Text Messages Sent From Dads

Dads have a way of telling it how it is — except for when it comes to communicating via text message, in which case you really have no idea what’s going to come across your phone. Dads are known for their painfully funny dad jokes AND their epic technology fails, and nothing showcases that better than hilarious text messages sent by dads. And in the spirit of Father’s Day, you better believe we’re celebrating by rounding up some of the best ones out there.

After all, we've all received them. A text comes in from Dad, you open it, and it's the last thing you'd expect him to say — or it’s exactly what you'd expect him to say, depending on who your father is. In any case, Dad always knows exactly which words to choose. Moms usually send the “good morning” text messages and pictures of the household pet, but dads say the darnedest things. Dad text message are the ones that make your day, and sometimes you just want to share them with the world… which is exactly what I’m doing now. I found these seven incredible texts from dads via social media that ought to make us appreciate all the great dads out there. Seriously, there are some gems.

4. When Dad Gives You Instructions For His Funeral

If you've never had the this-is-how-I-want-my-funeral talk, then just wait, it's coming. For some reason, some dads feel it's necessary to walk you through the details of their memorial. However, this is usually in the form of an awkward conversation, and not a text message.
