My daughter told me my jokes were "just statements with a pause," and she was right
She said a real joke needs a twist, so I started ending every dad joke with a fake-out punchline instead of just a long pause, and now the whole dinner table actually groans instead of staring at me, which honestly is the goal, right?

Realizing the pause was doing all the work is the same thing that happens with so many things we do on autopilot. My grandpa used to just say "well there you go" after every story, and we all laughed because of how he said it, not what he said. Once you actually switch up the ending, people have to pay attention again.
