We say “Father, I have sinned,” because it would be weird if we said, “Daddy, I have sinned,” right?
“Forgive me, Daddy, for my transgressions!” We say the “Our Father,” not the “Our Daddy.”
Father vs. Daddy

Listen up, buttercup. The joke is that "Father" is a respectful term for God, while "Daddy" is more intimate. Saying "Daddy, I have sinned" sounds like a kid tattling on themselves, not a serious confession. It's like calling your boss "Big Papa" – awkward, right? You wouldn't get it, you probably still call your dad "daddy".
