Father's Day is Sunday and we've been asking you to submit your best Dadisms! (you know, the quirky things he says!)
We're saying congratulations to Brad Harrietha and his dad Harvey- our Dadisms winners!
Harvey receives a brand new Barkman Architextures Fire Pit (a value of over $1700.00) from McMunn & Yates Building Supplies! They're also throwing in a bag of firewood and the accessories!
Harvey was nominated by his son Brad.
My dad uses the line “typically.” He will start a sentence with “well typically…” and then tell a fact or story. This has be come a running joke that when he starts a sentence with this, we all laugh and know it’s probably only half true. Our friends have even coined “typically hunting with Harv,” his catch phrase. We even got hats made! Harvey is a great dad who has lived a full life around the campfire and would “typically” love to pass his stories on to his grand children around the fire. Happy Father’s Day!
Congratulations!
It was honestly a tough contest because all of the submissions were heartfelt, yet hilarious! Read for yourself!
Dadism submissions:
If I only knew what I know now at my age when I was your age!
I was wondering why music was coming from my printer. ... The paper was jamming!
"Hey! My jokes are funny!!" "HI hungry, I'm dad!"
When i tell my dad "I'm hungry". He replies "Hi hungry, I'm Lawrence, it's nice to meet you".
My dad will say "I'll decide!" when there is a decision to be made but then proceeds to not choose something.
My dad has so many good ones, I love his humor and use it today. Two of my favorites are when I would get dressed up for snowball dance or something, he would say "you're too cute go and get ugly" and also often he would say "i don't like you a little bit" followed by "I like you alot" that one concerned me a little when I was little and he used it for first time lol!
If any of you know or have met my dad, you will know there are too many to choose from!!!! He is fluent in dad jokes and comebacks LOL

When my siblings and I were kids, (in the 80’s) when we would trip or fall, he would ask if we were “Ok” when we said “yea” he would tell us “Ok good, now say sorry to the floor” and we’d all laugh. Now we all have kids of our own and he still to this day tells his grandkids to “say sorry to the floor” which always makes them laugh and feel better about their trip and fall. He’s the best dad and papa ever.
Clean your room even even the dust bunnies are moving out!!
He has so many. But two of the ones he says the most: When I do things to get myself in trouble- ‘Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.’ Every time I tell him I’m hungry- ‘Nice to meet you hungry, I’m dad’
Right on!
You need to wash your truck
'Hurry up let's go home. I need to feed the chickens' ( we have no chickens )

Shut the door were you born in a barn?
“No crying on the farm” “Have I told you I love you yet today?” “It turns to muscle when I need it” “Can you get me a beer sweetheart?” “Est la Oui” “Don’t tell gramma”
“I relish having relish on my cheeseburger” “Here’s a tip, don’t walk between parked cars” “It’ll heal before you get married”
Where there's a Will, I hope I'm in it.
Close the door, I am not paying to cool the outside!
“You’ll find that the older you get the smarter I was”.
My husband always says to the kids when they hurt themselves and they act like they are dying: “I guess we’ll have to go to the hospital and have them cut it off. You can live with one arm perfectly fine” This usually is the perfect cure lol
God made dirt and dirt don't hurt.
“I hope you have a daughter just like you”
“Puts hair on your chest” (Ya dad it’s what every girls wants ????)
Our father has been telling his grandchildren all about this special tribe of "little people". The Bimbiboo Tribe!!! It started off with his first granddaughter asking why there was little foot prints on the decking boards when we were building a deck (the kind that show a deck board is smooth for decking). Well then it just blew up to the Bimbiboo's are responsible for all the mischief and "things that just can't be blamed on you" :). This last summer he found a cool rock face along a trail out at the camp and of course this is where the Bimbiboo village was created. It had miniature toys, trucks, and mini action figures. The whole family was finally privy to seeing the Bimbiboo tribe for real!!! :)
When every we use to get hurt he would always say "That it will be healed up and haired over by the time you are married"
When I was younger Dad would always tell me to Look Up and Down before I crossed the road.
Dad always told us to treat everyone you work with the same that everyone is important and deserves the same respect no matter their credentials or titles. RIP dad Miss him every day.
Thank you to everyone who submitted their Dadism and we wish you all a Happy Father's Day!
