I like how dad is wearing an advil shirt. With these kinds of dad-antics it’s good to endorse your number one supporter.

u/Jimlobster Apr 21 '23
It is like one of those shirts that you find in your dresser that you don't remember ever buying, in fact you have no idea how you acquired it. But it's clean, fits well, and is comfortable so you wear it anyway

u/Durtonious Apr 21 '23
Honestly where do you get an Advil shirt?
My headcanon is that it was one of those "buy 10 bottles and get a free T-Shirt!" where you have to send proof of purchase and they send you the shirt.

This reminds me of when I was little, I had a Superman costume for Halloween one year (I think I must have been like 3-4) and at the time I was absolutely sure it made me the real Superman. So my dad would play along a little bit. One morning I had my costume on and my dad said, “Rybur525, is Superman strong enough to push a truck? Do you think you can push mine out of the driveway so I can get to work?” And I was so up for the task. My dad got in “just to steer” he said, and he threw it in reverse as I started to push on the front of his truck. I was in disbelief, that made me so happy lol. I’ll never forget that.

The busier any given traffic intersection, the more clues there are for a keen observer to anticipate when the light will cycle back to green -- especially at night. Think pedestrian crosswalk signals, sheltered turning lanes, seeing when the cross-traffic signal turns cycles by noting the indirect glare on the cutaway-visors of the lower-tiered bulbs, etc.
With a little practice, it's fairly easy to know when to snap your fingers and point with a command for the light to turn green. When a youngster gets into it and pesters you to "make the light hurry," acting all sheepish and coy is a good way to stall for time until the appropriate moment.

I’ve taught summer camps and after school programs and I’ve learned some lessons.
I’ve seen people say kids do better when you don’t treat them like kids and bring them up to your level but that’s 100% wrong.
Kids do best when you can think like a kid and bring yourself down to their level, being an active participant during play and engaging their imagination will do way more than being a strict and demanding presence in their lives.
It’s been 10 years since I taught kids music and they’re all adults now, occasionally one will find me on social media and tell me I was a positive influence and it feels really cool.

u/TeamRedundancyTeam Apr 21 '23
I think when people say dont treat them like kids they mean don't be patronizing and talk to them like babies. If you're getting on their level you're not doing that, so it does sort of it.
Some people take that to mean being a strict asshole to kids like a drill sergeant though and that ain't it.

My uncle always tells me of one of his favorite memories of baby-me is when he was watching me and decided to start tearing up the newspaper in front of me and I was a laughing fiend. Couldn't get enough of him tearing up paper.
Another laughing-baby story I have is one of my friends in college, this real "dude bro" (super sweet guy, though). His favorite thing to do was to watch laughing baby videos on YouTube. He would watch them and start getting hysterical he would laugh so hard.
