Jake, a loving father known for his humor, was surrounded by his family. A stack of colorful joke cards rested in his hands, each one carrying a world-class dad joke. It was his birthday, and his family was eager to hear his latest set.

Emma, Jake's teenage daughter, nudged him playfully. "Come on, Dad, let's hear the jokes! We've been waiting all day!" she exclaimed. Lucas, Jake's young son, clapped his hands in excitement, his eyes wide with anticipation.

"Why don’t skeletons fight each other? Because they don’t have the guts!" Jake announced, causing a ripple of laughter to fill the room. Emma laughed, rolling her eyes affectionately. Lucas giggled, not fully understanding, but enjoying the sound of laughter around him.

"What did the grape do when he got stepped on? Nothing, he just let out a little wine," Jake continued, receiving a chorus of groans mixed with chuckles. "Oh, Dad, you're the best," Emma said, shaking her head with a smile.

Jake paused, looking around at his family and friends. "I told my wife she should embrace her mistakes... She gave me a hug," he said, his voice filled with affection. The room was silent for a moment before bursting into laughter once more, everyone appreciating the sentiment behind the humor.

Jake looked around, his heart full. "Thank you all for making this the best birthday ever," he said, his voice a blend of gratitude and love. His family gathered around him, their laughter echoing into the evening, a testament to the joy and love they shared.
