James Breakwell is the epitome of what the Internet would call "dad goals" - though with 4 daughters to manage, he might not always feel like it. The Indianapolis-based comedy writer and family man has had Twitter enamored since April 2016, when tales of his humorous clan first went viral, and he's showing no signs of stopping - over 750 thousand followers later. Exploding Unicorn, as Breakwell's comedy platform has come to be known, is a collection of hilarious conversations between the brutally frank dad and his eccentric daughters, as well as a select few with his wife. The anecdotes are short, but together they offer a perfect snapshot of the family dynamics we all juggle in our own lives. Breakwell's first book, a hybrid of parenting advice and satire entitled Only Dead on the Inside: A Parent’s Guide to Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse, is due in October 2017. Have a look at some of James and his family's latest adventures below, and be sure not to miss our previous post about them.

I told my mum something similar. My delivery wasn't nearly as cutely stated, nor was her reply.

Yes! My mom is always complaining that she doesn't see her grandson enough, that 'grandpa' never sees him, but whenever I ask her to watch him for a bit, I get a bunch of c**p about it...
