When dad revealed he’d been with their mom for 23 years, his kids roasted him with 'you’re so old' jokes — but one line stole the show
Family conversations can sometimes take a funny turn when children get curious about the past. A father, Tay Kabs, recently shared a lighthearted moment from a car ride with his kids, when a simple question slowly led to a roasting session. As he drove, his children asked about his relationship with their mother, trying to understand how long they had been together. The clip, posted under the handle @thekabsfamily on Monday, April 13, 2026, shows how their curiosity soon shifted into teasing as they processed his answers. They started roasting with a string of 'you're so old' jokes involving the Queen's coronation but one joke that stole the show was about their parents being so old that they went on a double date with Mary and Joseph.
After hearing that he had been with their mother for 23 years, the kids were shocked and began reacting in a playful way. “23 years? That’s old,” they said, clearly surprised. The father had earlier shared that they met when they were 12, which led one child to quickly calculate and compare ages. From there, the children kept asking questions while adding their own funny ideas about how things worked back then. They went on to suggest that he must have written letters to their mom and even joked about him using a feather pen, laughing at their own ideas.
The teasing grew more creative as they asked, "Did you and your friends sing to mum on the way to school?" and continued to make funny guesses about his past. One child joked, "Did you and mum get invited to the Queen's coronation and what did you wear?" The playful teasing didn’t stop there, as they continued to joke about his age even more. "Mommy and Daddy went on a double date with Mary and Joseph!" The clip ended with the kids wondering who looked after baby Jesus when his parents were out, jokingly adding Morgan Freeman as their suggestion.
The father stayed quiet for most of the exchange, looking blank and tired in a humorous way rather than upset, as the kids continued their nonstop jokes. He did not react strongly but seemed to take it all in as the roasting went on, while the camera captured his steady expression. He even added the onscreen note, “POV: I think the kids should walk to school from now on,” showing his dry reaction to their playful comments. In many families, such light teasing becomes a shared memory.
Naturally, no parent is spared from a child’s playful questions. In another story, a father had a calm talk with his daughter after looking at her report card when he said, “So I just got your report card,” and later praised her by saying, “You have done pretty well, I'm proud of you.” However, what started as a normal check quickly moved into a deeper conversation about goals and choices in life.
He then asked her, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” and she replied, “I want to be a nurse.” The father shared his own childhood dream, and she followed up with a sharp question, “Since you are not, where do you think you messed up?” She continued asking if he lost focus or lacked discipline. The moment ended with mixed emotions as she added, “It’s not my fault you couldn't reach your rugby goal,” leaving the father surprised but also amused.
