As the last of 2013 winds to a close, many Mom’s and Dads are counting the hours until Christmas vacation is over, and the kids finally get back to school where they belong.
Dad’s, instead of hiding in your man cave, plan a fun night with the family using Manly Pinterest Tip #4: Pin Funny Stuff
Create a board on Pinterest called “Funny Jokes”, “Funny Videos” or equally creative, “Humorous Hi-Jinks”. Then, pin amusing stuff throughout the week to that board. Remember, one of the cool things about Pinterest is that it isn’t just for pinning images, videos can be pinned as well.
Then plan a fun, family night and share your funny images and videos around the table with your family. Or, better yet, create a group board for the entire family to pin to. Then, have a standup comedy or joke night where everyone in the family has to go around the table and take turns sharing a joke, funny picture, or video. Believe me, you’ll learn a lot about your kids sense of humor this way.
Let me get on my soapbox here for a minute. Remember your kids learn their sense of humor from you. Use this time to train them about what real humor is. Listen, I laugh like everyone else when I see a guy get smacked in the woo-hah with a bat on America’s Funniest Videos. I chuckle when I look and see year book photos of 80’s hairstyles. The problem is that I see a lot of images online that make fun of a person who looks different and is mocked and ridiculed because of it. I don’t know about you, but I want my kids to protect and help people, not stand around and make fun of them. Just remember you’re a role model for humor to your kids…ok off of soapbox.
So, take charge and plan a fun night with your kids. Share jokes and videos you’ve pinned on Pinterest around the table. Then, perhaps watch a family comedy movie together. Enjoy laughing together as a family.
It’s time for the man of the house to kick off his shoes and enjoy some chuckles with his wife and kids. Because not only is laughter the best medicine, it is also really manly as well.
