What Dad Says: “Have you done your homework?” 
 
What Dad Means: “Please don't ask me how to do long division.” 
 
Dads are curious creatures. They think nothing good happened to music since the time they were teenagers, have strong opinions on the best type of screwdriver, and live in fear of an even scarier creature called Mum. What's worse, they only have a limited vocabulary that they can use to express themselves. And what Dad says and what Dad means are very different things. 
 
Boring Things Dad Says is a user manual for understanding just exactly what your dad is trying to tell you, including: 
<ul><li>Money doesn't grow on trees, you know?</li><li>Is that what they're calling music these days?</li><li>I don't know, go and ask your mother.</li></ul>Whether you're looking for a funny stocking filler or a joke gift for a new dad, Boring Things Dad Says is the perfect funny present for dads of all ages and in all their forms!
