Man......I have a dark sense of humor, and you saying you just want to make your son happy before he becomes an adult gave me inspiration for a joke. And then I read the joke back to myself, and thought "Oh wait, if he doesn't have a dark sense of humor this just comes off like a psychopath being an asshole....."

So instead of that joke, I'll say you should just burst into your sons room right now, and hug them! Just go bursting in like HEY SON!!!! YOUR DAD/MOM LOVES YOU, AND YOU AIN'T ESCAPING MY HUGS!!! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE YOU BIG BALL OF INFINATE POTENTIAL!!! YOU'RE GONNA DO GREAT THINGS IN LIFE, AND I LOVE YOU!!!!

And then your son would just be getting hugged, and confused, and he'd be like "uhhhhhhh.......is one of us dying? What is happening right now?"

Aw dammit. See? Even without making a dark joke, I still made a different dark joke.
