You are a monster. You speak the language of Teddy Bears (they whisper in your ear). You dance. You sing. You tickle and get tickled back. When your child says the magic words, you turn into a frog, a monkey, a clown. You have an endless supply of invisible balloons. In short, you are the silliest, most fun playmate in the world.
As a dad, you have every excuse to be silly. Let your imagination run wild. Forget about the stresses of work and everyday chores – get in touch with your inner-toddler and just have some fun.
Just try not to overexcite the kids just before bedtime – or leave it to mum to calm them down!
Take responsibility for your silliness. And take silliness seriously.
