Win $200 for Father's Day

It creeps up on you when you least expect it – confusing, lame, sometimes inappropriate – the Dad joke. It doesn’t have to be Father’s Day for you to encounter it; it’s a natural state of being for dads that extends beyond a Sunday in June. But it’s more than just a fun – or embarrassing– quirk, it’s actually one of their best superpowers.

The power of humor

Many like to equate their dads’ superpowers to abilities like carpentry, sports, yard work, musical instruments, driving, or just being super punctual. And those would all be valid and impressive powers that should be celebrated daily, not just on Father’s Day weekend.

But dads’ real power lies in their ability to make you laugh. Laughter has been extensively proven to promote all kinds of benefits, from reducing stress and anxiety to building trust and connection. But let’s face it – not everyone is or can be funny. Some people painfully have to find that out the hard way. But dads somehow have this special ability to take a completely cheesy, terrible joke and make it, dare I say, humourous? Sometimes downright hilarious, but we don’t like to give them the satisfaction.

Whether you hear them in person, over phone calls, or constantly in the family group chat, embrace them, don't judge them. And if you'd like to thank your dad for all the laughs over the years, follow TextNow's Instagram page for a chance to win $200 – a $100 gift card for them, and a $100 gift card for you!
