Dad Awards
To truly capture the “Spirit of the Dad” what are some achievements you think make a True Dad?
-
“Fixed it!” - complete an entire home improvement project in a single trip to the hardware/lumber store.
-
“Gotcha!” - demonstrate the Dad Reflex by catching a toddler seconds before disaster.
-
“That’s my boy/girl!” - get in trouble with the SO when your son/daughter picked up a bad habit of yours, or develops your bad sense of humor/pranks.
-
“Here boy!” - develop a stronger bond with the new family pet than any of the kids who wanted it in the first place.
-
“Office time” - spend at least 30 minutes in the bathroom hiding from the kids/spouse even though you don’t actually have to go to the bathroom.
-
“Blame it on the dog” - make at least one passenger choke on a fart in the car.
-
“Really?” - have a kid/spouse completely buy in to one of your bad dad jokes. (I had my wife convinced for nearly an hour that the rumble strips on the side of the highway was called the “Brailleway” and it was for blind drivers)
-
“But the kids will love it!” - use the kids as justification to purchase something that you’ve always wanted.
-
“Try it, you’ll like it!” - introduce a kid into your hobby as an excuse to go out more often than the spouse would usually tolerate.
-
“Saved the day!” - prevent a meltdown by fixing the favorite toy that seemed completely destroyed.
-
“Animal surgeon” - conduct ‘surgery’ to patch up a favorite stuffed animal.
-
“Here, let me show you” - take over a video game under the guise of showing the kid how to play.
What else can you add to this list?

Several years ago my wife and I were the only two in a movie theater when an older guy (70ish) came in and very slowly moved to the row we were in and went to sit in the seat right next to me. I looked at my wife with a "can you believe this?" face.
Just as the guy's butt hit the chair he looked at us and said "gotcha!" Then sprang up and went to a seat several rows away chuckling to himself as if he does that all the time. Never said anything else to us, just loving his old man life and trolling strangers at the movies.
"Oh really, whats he look like?"
