He’s a master of bad puns, World War II factoids and grilled cheese sandwiches. But when it comes to advice, dad takes it to a whole other level.

“Don’t walk on ice with your hands in your pockets.” – Jay, Vermont
“Unless you’re OK with it being written on the front page of The New York Times, don't say it.” – Phillip, Colorado
