DAD, I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU...

What it means

A seated child or narrator speaks from behind a newspaper, saying they have something important to tell their dad. In the next panel, the newspaper is revealed to be a small mechanical robot or device that has exploded or fallen apart. The joke is an absurd bait-and-switch, useful as a reaction to an unexpected confession or disastrous reveal.
