We’re all proud of the accomplishments of our children, aren’t we? What I’ve always wanted for my kids is peace, love, and stability. I want much more for them, of course, but if they’re happy and don’t have to worry about having a roof over their heads, that’s a solid start to achieving other dreams and goals. Some people grow up to be super-successful, and I imagine their parents are as proud of them as most of us are proud of our kids. The worst thing, however, is a braggart, especially when it’s how much money your kids make. There’s much more to life than having the biggest and best of everything. The fourth dad in this story may not have as much to boast about as his friends do, but he’s just as proud of his kid. Enjoy this hilarious joke where the dad totally shuts down some braggarts.
Four friends, who hadn’t seen each other in 3o years, reunited at a party. After several drinks, one of the men had to use the restroom. Those who remained talked about their kids.
The first guy said, ‘My son is my pride and joy. He started working at a successful company at the bottom of the barrel. He studied Economics And Business Administration and soon began to climb the corporate ladder and now he’s the president of the company. He became so rich that he gave his best friend a top of the line Mercedes for his birthday.’
The second guy said, ‘Darn, that’s terrific! My son is also my pride and joy. He started working for a big airline, then went to flight school to become a pilot. Eventually, he became a partner in the company, where he owns the majority of its assets. He’s so rich that he gave his best friend a brand new jet for his birthday.’

The third man said: ‘Well, that’s terrific! My son studied in the best universities and became an engineer. Then he started his own construction company and is now a multimillionaire. He also gave away something very nice and expensive to his best friend for his birthday: A 30,000 square foot mansion.’
The three friends congratulated each other just as the fourth returned from the restroom and asked: ‘What are all the congratulations for?’
One of the three said: ‘We were talking about the pride we feel for the successes of our sons. …What about your son?’
The fourth man replied: ‘My son is gay and makes a living dancing as a stripper at a nightclub.’
The three friends said: ‘What a shame… What a disappointment.’
The fourth man replied: ‘No, I’m not ashamed. He’s my son and I love him. And he hasn’t done too bad either. His birthday was two weeks ago, and he received a beautiful 30,000 square foot mansion, a brand new jet and a top of the line Mercedes from his three boyfriends.’
