It starts with a fanny pack. Maybe the word "hip" or "rad" used in a misguided manner. If you're lucky, it stops there.
If not, you move on to the next round: cell phone clips, socks with sandals and tucked-in polos. Worst, of course, is the outdated dance moves in public ("Coolio Dogg -- that's a thing, right? -- I love his new CD cassette. It's totally fly, if you hear what I'm talking about, fellas. YOLMO!").
Sigh.
Dads try their best. To be fair, it's not easy keeping up with the latest youngin' trends. We're just happy that, when the brave ones do try to keep up, there's always someone filming it.
If anything, we can take solace in knowing we'll reach that point someday ourselves. Hopefully we'll be too comfortable in our sweatpants and Crocs to care.
