‘Dad jokes’ are the universal language of fatherhood. Somewhere in the world – behind the wheel of a car, in a supermarket queue or over a family dinner – one is being told right now. “Why did the tomato blush? Because it saw the salad dressing.” Cue the kids’ groans.
As we celebrate Father’s Day this September, let’s examine the classifications of dads that exist within the kingdom of family life. While the wannabe comedians referred to above fall into the Dadus Humorous group, here are some of the other fatherly species you may recognise:
DIYus Overconfidentus – these handydads are prevalent in hardware stores, believe there’s nothing a roll of duct tape can’t fix, and are often heard muttering “I don’t need instructions”.
Fashionus Questionablis – easily distinguished by the socks worn proudly with sandals (sometimes even while mowing the lawn) and the same ‘good shirt’ from the ‘90s that makes an appearance every Christmas lunch.
BBQus Masterii – the self-proclaimed outdoors culinary general. A master chef and fire marshal, he’s identified by his gaudy apron, tongs in one hand and refreshment in the other.
Humanus Remoteus – lives in loungerooms and is fiercely territorial, particularly when it comes to control of the TV remote. Equally able to channel surf at ridiculous speeds yet take ages to settle on a suitable program selection.
Snorus Maximus – a sub-species of the Humanus Remoteus, he is most frequently found on couches and recliners, usually after 8pm.
Navigatus Stubbornii – extremely resistant to asking for directions despite obvious disorientation and prepared to drive around in circles for extended periods rather than admit to being geographically challenged.
Historicus Repetitus – famous for telling the same story over and again, usually starting with “Back in my day…”
And while technically an animal can’t belong to more than one species, in the case of dads, we might just have found an exception to the rule.
Jokes aside, we’d like to wish all dads, step dads, dad figures, adopted dads, dads to be and dad carers - a very Happy Father’s Day, whichever classification/s they fall into.
