Laugh your socks off…

Every dad makes mistake. So what’s your advice?

“Be careful how long you spend playing the Skill Tester at the Aquarium, as your daughter may just wander off. Also, asking the cleaner, ‘Have you seen my baby?’, when you’re surrounded by water, sharks and deadly marine animals, can cause alarm bells to go off.”

If there were 5 rules to ensuring you’re a cool Dad, what would they be…?

  1. “Know your iTunes password by heart – your kids need access to games at all times.”
  2. “Agree that SpongeBob SquarePants is the funniest man on earth – and not you.”
  3. “Allow yourself to be the butt of your children’s ‘classic’ jokes.”
  4. When it’s your turn to hide in ‘Hide and Seek’, make sure your kids know exactly where you are, so they don’t freak out.”
  5. “If you get the chance, perform the ‘dancey dance’ with the Yo Gabba Gabba! crew at their live show.”
