I just learned that “random dad lore” is a meme from my oldest son. He was talking about an iPod touch we had when he was very little: “oh yeah, that was a gift for placing 8th or something in a national trivia competition before you were born.” He was like “whaaaat?”

Then he told me about it being a thing. Which, to be fair I think has always been a thing, it just wasn’t codified as a “meme” before.

Now I find myself looking for opportunities to drop weird facts about mom and dad.
