When it comes to being a father, there are few things better than playing little jokes on your kids.

What happens when your daughter is able to outplay the father at the joke?

If you’re this dad, you’re very proud.

Check out the details below!

Want me to keep talking even if nobody’s listening? All right

This happened when I was around 14-15.

Classic dad prank.

I was telling a story to my dad and at one point he interrupted me, told me “keep talking, I’m listening very carefully.” then left and closed the door.

I didn’t know it at the time, but he was very proud of this joke, he made it to my mom a couple of times (she never liked it).

Anyway, I thought it was somewhat funny, but also pretty rude.

Nevermind, I knew an opportunity to teach my dad a lesson would come sooner than later.

So, I waited.

And a couple of hours later, he would come and ask me to do the dishes.

Oh, I see where this is going.

Me: You know I can’t.

Him: what do you mean you can’t? Why can’t you do the dishes?

Me: I told you earlier. Him: no you didn’t.

Me: yes I did. You know this. You told me you were listening very carefully.

Him realising what I was doing: oh right! Well could you remind me? I forgot.

Me: no way, I’m not repeating myself. I already gave you a very simple and rational explanation.

Proud dad moment.

My dad was strict, but he knew when he was beaten at his own game.

He did the dishes that day, and he never made the joke again.

Perfectly played, I bet he was actually very proud.

Take a look at some of the comments on this story.

The daughter could have gotten away with more than skipping the dishes.

Come on, get to the point.

Sometimes you have to go.

Yup, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

LOL – Beautifully said.

He had to admit, his daughter got the best of him this time.

The child surpasses the parent.
