Dad Hilariously “Fact Checks” His 5-Year-Old’s Worksheet About Him

If you are a parent and your child has gone through preschool or kindergarten, you have one of these question sheets somewhere in a box. Every year, for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, teachers ask kids questions about their parents. The questions are simple, and the teacher writes in the child’s answer. Most of the time, the results are pretty hilarious. This dad did a fact-check on his kid’s answers. You will laugh.

At five, the world looks different than it does for us adults. This dad analyzes his son’s answers to routine questions about him on a Father’s Day questionnaire.

The first question was about his dad’s name. He got this correct because his dad has the same name — James. When asked for something his dad always says, young James answered, “He loves me.” Young James added his dad’s superpowers, “He’s super fast and strong.” Dad agreed wholeheartedly with that assessment.

With the easy questions out of the way, the questionnaire became more intense. Young James may have been confused answering about Dad’s favorite color. He stated blue, but Dad’s fact check on the kid says it is orange. He did offer a half point because orange and blue are the team colors for the Gators.

When the fact check on his kid reached the last few sections, young James was utterly wrong. Favorite animal? Not a cheetah. Dad’s age? Ten years is too young to have a child in kindergarten, so way off on that fact check, kid. Favorite place is Monster Jam? Wrong again, little James. When young James wasn’t sure of his dad’s favorite things, he plugged in his favorites. Overall, the son did pretty well compared to the question sheets we saw on Mother’s Day.

My daughter thought I was 100 years old when she was in kindergarten, so ten seems to be a much less ego-devastating answer. Although the purpose of these questionnaires may seem like a time-filling exercise to most people, they can be a valuable vessel for opening a discussion with your child to talk about yourself.

Before school, a child is the center of their universe. Once they go to school, they learn about others and become aware that other people are essential, too. That is also the age when they begin remembering things more clearly. Have fun fact-checking your kids and help them learn about you. Share this if you or your friends are experiencing this time-honored tradition from kindergarten.
