  I love this post… I can definitely remember activating dad mode a few times when my kids where young.

    I’m glad you dug it. Even when danger wasn’t involved, I loved just smoothly catching a sippy cup as it tumbled from a table.

  Yes! Remember when I caught my then 9 month old son by the ankles mid flight head first toward the ground. Should have a before an after of all these Dads to feature the new found grays and loss of hair.

  These are awesome just like most Dad’s are awesome but can I just comment on how funny it is that the mom in the “candle too hot” giff rolls her eyes like this kid will never learn. I thought that was quite humorous and definitely something I would do with my toddler.

  This is the most instructional post you’ve ever done on “How to be a dad.” Yes folks, dads are like the real-world versions of Tim Howard – we can save a kid from just about ANYTHING.

    Saying this is the most instructional post on our site isn’t really saying much since our content is supposed to be destructional, but thanks.

  My ‘dad moment’ was saving my then 3yo son from choking on a hot dog (my sister didn’t slice it lengthwise). My son’s response, “Why did you hit me?” (I had him leaned over & pounded on his back). I crumbled to the ground & bawled. It was that close.

  I remember my 2yo son (now 15) dancing on the couch & an instant later diving face first for the corner of the coffee table. I caught him one-handed within a couple of inches of cracking his face open. I reckon my hand teleported itself there because I have no recollection of moving. It still haunts me.

    Whoa! Makes my heart sink just to imagine. Good on you and your teleporting hand, man!

  I like this post, Daddies are not always careless, and sometimes they play a very important characters in children’s lives.
