There are many things we humans still haven't figured out. Like, what came before the big bang, will AI eventually overtake us, and why do all dads grunt when they sit down. Or why they take grilling so seriously. In fact, there are probably more mysteries about dads than the universe. To try and get to the bottom of them, people have started Tweeting them, and the questions perfectly describe every dad in the history of dadness. The sad part, however, is that even with all that attention, most of them remain unanswered. Science is one way we make sense of the world around us, but it appears that even rationality can't explain everything.

They think sleep is for the weak and they don't wanna be weak OR they know falling asleep in front of a loved one is rude and they don't want to be rude to their loved one

This is the "at ease" pose that many servicemen are used to. He's relaxed but observant.

Because they do not want some fancy s**t. They ask what they need.

Well I'm not a dad but I do take grilling or any kind of meat cooking seriously. I mean the animal had to die so you can eat it, the least you can do to respect that, is being really focused on making it really delicious :D

Dumb question. Answer - Easier to get out, easier to load/ unload the trunk when it isn't facing traffic, Dads don't see it as a special showy thing, just an obvious thing to do.

The mirrors and seat clearly need to be adjusted, because the car is so badly parked they need to move it.

Exactly! We did not buy a really nice japanese fountain pen to then write with a cheap ball point pen with the Citibank logo printed crooked on it.

Because it can be the little things. I hate cheap pens. I always have a nicer pen. Doesn't have to be a super expensive pen, but a step up. When in adult world, I hate signing legal papers with a cheap Bic pen. Just me though.

And it's always a REALLY good pen, and you can never find in a store because it's a specific pen that you have no idea where he got it from

If they carry it, they might as well use it. I'm a woman, but as an INTJ (apparently, only about 2% of women are), I relate more to men. I carry my own pen, since places that SHOULD have them often don't, or if there IS one, the ink doesn't flow. I think I also take pride in being prepared for pretty much anything, since I like to anticipate worst case scenarios (as some men do).

Because in old times gentlemen has expensive ink pens with their names engraved on them. They're sons mimicked them and it got passed down. And now my husband has his special Uni-ball pen that the astronauts use that works from any angle, even upside down and he has to explain this to me every time it comes up.

I always use my own pen because I have an immune deficiency and don't want to touch something that many other people have touched. For me, that would be just asking to get sick.

Back in the olden, olden, oooooldeenn days, having a pen was necessary to give your signature on bills when using credit cards. Also, for signing cheques and other general usage. Also, having a nice pen was a status thing.

They know their own one writes like they like it? And it's probably a cool expensive one?

Never! Why do wife and kids always have theirs on silent and miss every message a dad sends?

Secret for you...we hate texting. We are not 13 yr old girls. A 30 second phone conversation can take the place of 20 text messages and misunderstandings.
