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.

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

I think women do this, too. In my case, I'm under the impression that I'm 16. Right.

I was going to say... I mean look at who the vast majority of marketing is targeted toward to "stay looking young".

"You're only as old as you act" is a better motto than "you're only as old as you feel"....because if we were as old as we feel we'd mostly likely be 90.

So they'll keep providing for their family rather than excusing themselves on account of age.

Becuase all moms think they are older, so we have to balance it out. If we are younger, then they think they are younger too!

Dads need to think like they're 20 years younger so they're better suited to help their slacker kids accomplish everyday tasks.

When dad was in the hospital, a young male nurse said there just a few papers to go over and would need my signature. The nurse was acting kind of nervous and it me. I said "you think I'm his wife. Look at us, does he look like I married him for his boatload if cash? Look at me, do I looiiiiiôoioooooo so hard and the nurse was so embarrassed. I looked at the nurse and told him what my brother, the diplomat, had asked me. "What happened. You used to be cute?" It was then I realized that I could ioooiiii

Same reason we all do. They think about what they could have done or been. Plus it's helps them believe the 18 year old with the big boobs sees him that way.

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.

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.
