It seems to be that all dads have this pact where they agree that to be a dad you have to: make ridiculously corny jokes, make it their life's mission to annoy us to no end (which, let's be honest, they all do pretty well) and be fiercely protective of his little girl.
But despite their annoying need to bother us and make "dad" jokes, we still love them and if we're honest, they are the most important men in our lives.
They have always been there for us when we needed them, whether we knew it or not. Our dads are there when we need a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold a smile on our face. They make us laugh even if we don’t want to, bail us out if we get into trouble and are always ready and willing to come to our defense.
They may not always get proper credit but dads really are so great that it’s hard to put it into words.
So instead of coming up with something on your own, we rounded up 21 quotes that are both inspirational and hysterical that perfectly sum up your amazing dad just in time for Father’s Day.
