5 REASONS DAD IS THE BIGGEST KID OF ALL!
There are BIG kids and there are LITTLE kids. But boys never really stop being kids, do they? Even when boys become Dads, something temporarily dormant is set loose and Dad is once again free to be a kid himself. Here are 5 irrefutable comparisons between Dad and his kids that can leave no doubt that Dad is the biggest kid of all:
- Big boys and little boys spend most of their daily energy on two primary objectives: 1. getting along with the girls and 2. spending as much time at sports as possible.
- Dads toys are bigger and more expensive…but still toys. When presented with a brand new shiny ‘toy’ the faces of both Dad and kids will gloss over with wide-eyed anticipation and delight. Whether it’s a new toy car for his 3 year old or a shiny new car for Dad, you can expect a test drive, tinkering and shrieks of delight.
- By day Dad may work as an engineer, a doctor or an actual rocket scientist, but he will still reflect the same horrified “What am I supposed to do with that?” look as his 4 year-old when confronted with a load of laundry that needs washed.
- Big boys and little boys play tough: wrestling, roughhousing, punching, teasing, rolling and general rowdiness and mayhem. When someone inevitably gets hurt, they both come running to report the grave seriousness of their injury and receive some TLC.
- The fascination of the remote starts at an early and never goes away. Attempting to wrangle the remote away from your 5 year-old or Dad will spark pouting, tantrums and withholding of a goodnight kiss.
Dad may be just a big kid, but we love him for that and for everything else that makes him Dad. Happy Father’s Day!
