We love our dads to bits! Sure, they might be strict from time to time, but they’re incredibly fun-loving and goofy, too. And they’ll almost always be able to improvise their way out of a jam.

Our team here at Bored Panda wanted to show you the lighthearted side of fatherhood, so we’ve curated this list of some truly hilarious and wholesome moments of dads taking care of their kids. Scroll down for a dose of soul-healing fun. And if you needed a sign to call your parents and tell them that you love ‘em—this is it.
