No two dads are the same.

Every dad has their own quirk and they handle situations differently. However, there are many different things that dad's say, "Dad-isms" if you will, that are common among more dad's than just yours.

Here is my top list of "dad-isms" or times where you find your dad really was "that dad":

1. Putting "From dad" at the end of every text, in case you forgot his number.

2. Driving an extra 20 minutes to buy gas that's 5 cents cheaper.

3. Texting with only his index finger.

4. "Hi Hungry I'm Dad!"

5. Lying about his children's age for a discount.

6. Relying on leftovers for dinner when mom isn't home.

7. Asking if the yard is for sale at the yard sale.

8. Going way too hard playing wiffleball with his 8-year-old.

9. Telling his kid to "rub dirt in it" for any injury.

10. Giving himself credit for his kids' good genetics.

11. Then blaming their mothers for any bad genetics.

12. Answering the phone with "yellow?"

13. "Did your jeans come with holes in them?"

14. Cracks up no matter how many times he has told the same joke.

15. Always saying "You have something on your shirt" when in a restaurant.

16. Creating a formal investigation into who touched the thermostat.

17. "Let Dad show you how it's done."

18. Wearing socks, sandals, and khaki shorts.

19. Asking their children if they were "raised in a barn" when they leave a door open.
