 Joseph took a close look at us, and he thought we were young. Who are we to judge?

I definitely don't want to pursue a romance with Joseph. He seems like a nice guy with a stable life and Kim John-Dad would destroy it.

The real problem is that he has four kids. That's just too many.

I dunno, Joseph seems okay. But mostly I feel that going and returning the plate immediately like this seems kinda weird and desperate.

 Dad Tip #32: You can't beat the whammy bar.   "I think we get a ton of Good Neighbor points if we bring this back." "We're gonna be the best neighbors in this whole cul-de-sac!" "We're gonna kick all the other neighbors' butts."With kindness!" Amanda and I step outside.   "I'd hazard a guess it's the big one with all of the well-groomed blonde children sitting in the yard." "Good eye, kid." "And remember, we need to make a positive first impression here. Keep it light."We walk up to the kids and wave.  They all just stare at us blankly. "We just wanted to... uh... return this nice plate. And thank you for the cookies."Geeze, these definitely are Joseph's kids. They all look exactly like him.  "..." "They were really good." "..." "I mean, I heard they were good. I didn't get to eat any." I chuckle nervously.  "Well, okay. We're just gonna set this plate down on the ground real gentle and then back away slowly, right Dad?" "Right. That's what we're gonna do."The kids' eyes bore into us as we scurry away. I can feel their gaze on my back even as we approach our house.    "Yeah! Let's go pet some dogs!" I'm really good at catching blinks. "This place is nice." "Too nice. I don't trust it." "Good eye, honey. You can never be too careful. See that baby in that stroller over there? Government operative." "We're onto you, baby." ???: "Heads up!" "Ow!"A frisbee suddenly hits me in the face. Dog: "WOOF!"   Dog: "Bark!" He runs around in a circle and nudges my leg with his nose. Oh god. This is the cutest dog.
But where do I pet the dog?
I give him the customary pats. The dog LOVES this. Good call. ???: "You definitely coulda caught that."   "You know, frisbees are traditionally caught with your hands, not your face."
"You caught me off guard on this round. Not again. Not ever again."  "...by the way."Yeah. Eggplants, sweatdrops, hearts...? "I'm... John and this is my daughter, Amanda."I look over at Amanda only to find her sitting on the ground, rubbing the dog's tummy. "Hi. Your dog's cool." "Ah, old Maxwell sure loves the attention."It's great to see another father and daughter out here on such a sunny day." "Where's yours?"Brian gestures over to a grassy knoll, where a young girl sits on a checkered blanket. She's reading a book bigger than her head. She puts it down and heads over to us.  "How old is she?" "Ten! She's a precocious little youngster." "Whoa."My natural Dad instinct kicks in. I must brag about my child's accomplishments. Oh no, it's happening.  Next time: i am gameboy hear me roar Look at this cool, tall glass of lumberjack! I'm pretty sure I've met this dad in real life. What about you, thread? Are we a winner, thread? Or is Amanda just a bad kid?

Whoa. No way is that a ten year old. And Joseph's kids are terrifying. Is Amanda the only normal child in this game? She's obviously the winningest one around, anyway.

Brian isn't my favourite dad (I mean, they're all pretty good dads) but he has some of the best grunts. Barry went all out on those fatherly O-HOs, god bless him. And of course our daughter is a winner!

So is Christian Dad trapped in a loveless marriage because he can't admit he's gay? Because his terrifying, bitter children make his 'sitcom '50's dad' thing look like a desperate facade. And that just wasn't something I was expecting in a game called "Dream Daddy". And the thread's already spoken, our kid's a poo poo kicker winner.

 Thread, I hope you're all doing well tonight. We've come together to celebrate love -- of family, of lovers, of games, and of dad jokes. The only important thing this thread can do is remind you to spread joy. Dad Tip #63: Please remember to call us once in a while.    "That's my girl!" "Amanda, get in there...!" "OK, OK..."  We're going to choose the brag option almost continually until the end. "Amanda here just recently won a local photography award." "Wow, congratulations!"Brian loses 10 HP. "Daisy actually just won a state-wide poetry contest."You lose 15 HP. John's HP: 65 Brian's HP: 70 "Last week, unprompted, Amanda helped an old woman with her grocery bags."It's extra powerful! Brian loses 20 HP.  "She's the president too, of course." "Dang. My high school doesn't have a chess club. Or a computer lab..."You lose 10 HP. John's HP: 55 Brian's HP: 50 "Uh, Amanda's in all honors classes this semester."Brian loses 10 HP.  Even Amanda kind of bristles at that one. You lose 20 HP. John's HP: 35 Brian's HP: 40 "A few months back Amanda started volunteering at the homeless shelter in our old neighborhood."Brian loses 10 HP. "You don't say! She should talk to Daisy--she actually helped organize a food bank here in Maple Bay." "Yeah, Amanda, I'm sure we could find something for you to do!"It's extra powerful! You lose 20 HP. John's HP: 15 Brian's HP: 30   You unfurl your wallet to reveal a tiny copy of a drawing of a cornucopia Amanda did in the first grade. "Cute!"It isn't very impressive but Amanda genuinely appreciates you holding onto it. Brian loses 10 HP. You regain 20 HP. "Daisy sold enough candy bars this year to get the top prize--a canoe!" "We're taking it out next weekend!" It's extra powerful! You lose 20 HP. John's HP: 15 Brian's HP: 20 We're going to use another item...  You pull a wrinkled copy of Amanda's last grade card out of your back pocket. "Dad..."Awesome grades! Brian loses 25 HP. I've got him on the ropes!  Arrghh! Why'd he have to be such a good loser!?  "We just moved in, do you live around here?" "Yeah, we live in that cul-de-sac down next to the coffee shop." "What a coincidence, that's where we live too!" "Small world. Yeah, Daisy and I are in that little ranch-style house on the corner."I know that house. It's just like ours, but slightly bigger and better-landscaped. Does this guy have to outdo me at everything? "What a lovely place..." "Well, I don't want to take up anymore of your time. Really nice meeting you guys! You'll have to stop by at some point." "Yeah, definitely! Bye!"Brian and Daisy walk further into the park with Maxwell happily trotting along in tow. "...Do you get the feeling that he was trying to one-up us?" "Uh... I believe you had a bit of a thing for horses." "It's not too late to minor in Horse Creative Writing." "Too close to the truth, Dad. Let us never again speak of The Fantastic Adventures of Sir Horsington the Brave: an Epic in Seven Parts by Amanda Mandeville."We laugh off the horse epic and walk around the park a bit more, enjoying the day. Next time: A long lost brother... Have you ever felt compelled to keep up with the Joneses, thread? Or has a rivalry sparked at just the right time spurred you to new heights in your hobbies? As a love interest, Brian's being positioned as a rival or foil character. He's got that whole lumberjack bear thing going on, too. Someone mentioned to me that he might be meant to touch on bara. If you're not familiar with the term, bara literally translates to "rose," but refers to gay media generally by and for gay men in Japan; it's usually manga, and often erotic. The aesthetic is completely different from waifish bishounen present mostly in yaoi by and for women. The fomulation of relationships in bara is also fairly distinct, lacking the typical heteronormative formula of a dominant masculine partner and submissive femme partner. ...I hope you enjoyed today's romance corner, thread! And yes, I made that hideous John as a trainer graphic. I'm very sorry.
