17 Moments That Prove We're The Spongebob To Our Dad's Squidward
Your Dad has a spirit animal, and it's a squid.
If Squidward was a landlubber, he and your father could be castmates in 'Grumpy Old Men 3.' But just like Walter Matthau, we love them and their crotchety ways. In fact, watching your robed dad muttering curse words to himself as he reads the morning paper is kind of adorable. The truth is, we're every bit as obnoxious to our fathers as Spongebob is to Squidward. We were constantly whining to our dads about arguing with our siblings. Our dads had to go to all our boring t-ball games and recitals. Our bratty friends were always hanging around watching his TV and eating his Samoas. As we get older, we start to understand his tooty-'tude and love him for all he put up with. Just like Squidward and Spongebob, our dads stuck with us, and we suspect they secretly love it.
In honor of Father's Day, we've rounded up the 17 best moments when Squidward was cranky, just like your own Pops.
1. When your mom forced your dad to attend your 5-year-old cousin's dance recital
2. When your uncle called to brag he didn't have to go to the recital
3. When the annual family Christmas party is finally over
4. Every Monday morning during his commute
5. During Sunday night football commercial breaks
6. Every night during the 10:00 news
7. When your mom pokes fun at his grouchiness
8. When he volunteered to help host your first-grade Halloween party
9. When he slipped on your Polly Pocket set
10. That time he suggested camping for the family outing, but mom wasn't having it
11. When he answers a telemarketer phone call during dinner
12. When he gets the phone bill every month
13. When your aunt calls at 8am on a Saturday
14. When you asked for $80 to get pink streaks in your hair
15. When you showered before he did and used up all the hot water

And then you cried because he succeeded.
