18 Heartwarming Truths If Your Dad Is Your Ultimate Best Friend

Dads always know what’s up, whether it’s letting the dad jokes fly without holding back or stepping up with a cold beer and some sound advice when you’re having the crappiest day ever.

My father has taught me that no dream is too ridiculous or outlandish for me to realize since the day I was born.

He’s always been a supportive shoulder for me to lean on, and he always has open arms for me to run into when I haven’t seen him in a while.

Dad, this one is obviously for you.

Here are 18 things you only understand to be true if your dad is your best friend in honor of Father’s Day and my dad, who is the coolest guy in town.

  1. Any guy you invite home to meet the family needs to have his approval.
  2. Because of how much you’ve praised your father, the guy you’re dating is terrified to meet him.
  3. His dad jokes never, ever get old, and he never stops telling them.

You always think it would be a great idea to go out for pizza and drinks with Dad.
So that Dad won’t make a fashion faux pas, you covertly choose his attire.


You learned everything there is to know about NASCAR, classic rock, and muscle cars from him because, well, duh.
You laugh out loud at the same movie scenes that no one else in the theater finds funny at the same time.
The TV shows you watch are the same.
Dad will almost always offer wise counsel.

  1. You are interested in learning everything you can about his interests.
  2. Dad is, along with your mother, your biggest supporter.
  3. You wouldn’t want your father to be anything other than cheesy and corny at times.
  4. His friends are the guys you hang out with. He’s more of a casual member of your team than you are, though, in reality.
  5. When you’re feeling low, he knows exactly what to say and do (pizza, please).
  6. He declares that the person who broke your heart is a complete and total piece of crap.
  7. The first person you call when you have a spare ticket for a Yankees game is him.
  8. He’s also the first person you call if something breaks in your apartment or if your car is having problems.
  9. Although there are times when you want to roll your eyes at him for trying to make you see the light, you know he is correct.
