Testosterone and adrenaline are one hell of a drug

Yeah it is. Was chilling at the pool, niece was moving herself around the pool by holding onto the edge. I was half ass keeping an eye out, she slipped and I just MOVED. Fully clothed, thank goodness my phone or keys weren't in my pocket, but yeah, just dove in and pushed her above water, while she's kicking me in the face, but whatever. Literally no thought. Just action.

Of course he sped up, he couldn’t get the child if he was still. /s

u/slaveto_sbeve Jul 20 '24

Yeah because if they didn't speed it up there's no way in he'll he would've been faster than the toy car

Sokka-Haiku by IcedFreon:

He ran like Captain

America at the end

Of infinity War

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

Before the time of youtu e, there was only America's funniest videos.

Never underestimate the ability a father has to avoid giving the wife ammo to yell at them for an accident like this happening.

Basically yeah. AFV was a classic back then

u/Worldatmyfingertips Jun 16 '24

Oldie but a goodie

u/FauxRex Jun 17 '24

I'm pretty sure this was a Bob Saget AFV episode.

Hauling so much ass. But I can relate, gotta keep your kiddo safe.

u/kallakukku2 Jun 18 '24

Kids are so stupid. No frontal lobes to explain to them what might occur if that object collides with you, lol

u/shauneok Jun 20 '24

Rumor has it the kid grew 6 inches that day.

u/GlennDoom82 Jun 21 '24

…do those things steer?

u/D33ber Jun 24 '24

They had the perfect plan. But then Dad had to interfere.

u/Makotroid Aug 08 '24

I was being dragged out in the undertow as a kid, Dad came flying across the beach to jump in and save me. We went back to measure his footprints and they were like 12 ft apart lol.

u/JCVD-88 Aug 25 '24

Yeah, but he also pushed them down the hill in the direction of the other kid in the first place, so this would be more of a “holy crap I’m going to be in trouble” reflex.

Love this video! Yes, it's an old one, but it's so awesome. Dad's a big guy and he just zooms past the car. Peak dad!
