I am an absolute out-and-proud Daddy's girl. My dad and I share the same ridiculous sense of humor. He was only 19 when I came along, so he has often been more of a friend than a true "dad." We have spent decades tormenting my poor mother with poorly sung renditions of Bon Jovi songs, and when things in life go sideways a hug from my Dad is everything I need to feel okay again. One of my favorite things about my dad is how absolutely stereotypically Dad-ish he has gotten now that he's older.
As a kid he was the cool dad that all my friends had crushes on (don't worry about mom, Dad has been hopelessly hers since the day they met and she did pretty decent in that department too. She was young and beautiful and at least 3 men have dumped me because they were too interested in my mom)
Now that he's older, he's started doing things like buying 5 of the same pair of sneakers because he doesn't want to have to come back when he wears them out. His dad jeans game is flawless. He refuses to throw anything away because he needs it all for ... something. Oh, and you want puns? He's got you covered in multiple languages. His favorite joke is a play on the word "vacation" and asking what cows need a break from. The spanish word for cow is "vaca." I've heard this joke at least once a month for ten years and the only person who ever laughs is him - and he laughs until he cries. It's glorious.
