1. Dads Are Great Guides
One of the biggest reasons why dads are superheroes is that they are always there to guide you when you're in trouble. They tell you how to sail through tough times without hurting your self-respect and confidence. They are always around, like an invisible man, to protect you, and they really don't need to be soaked in gamma rays or bitten by a radioactive spider to have all those superpowers that help you to identify your real mission in life.
2. Dads Can Tell Stories
What dads can do may sometimes look simple, but in reality, it's something even superheroes dare not try. Dads don't mind reading you books, and it may not look a great task, but it definitely takes a real man to don't get tired of the same puppy board book because they know that's what makes their little ones happy. Forget about superheroes doing anything like that – they don't have that much of patience, and of course, they've got a world to save, so no spare time for them. No matter how busy dads are in the morning, they get back home and pull their kids in close for lullabies and stories – daddy style!
Frequently asked questions
3. Dads Fit in All Roles
Dads don't need to wear the "Mask" to behave like someone they are not – they can be comedians when you feel sad and they can be a perfect source of motivation when you're down. They can be a great speaker or a great listener, depending upon the situation. It takes tons of patience to deal with a little chatterbox girl, and no ordinary superhero can handle that. Only a superhero dad can host his own version of 'Dancing with the Stars' in the living room or lay in a homemade mudpile, driving heavy trucks around – and with proper sound effects! A dad can be the Best Toy Evah, and no superhero can beat that.
4. Dads Can Transfer Their Powers to You
One of the biggest reasons dads are real superheroes is that they can pass on their powers and even give you wings. Superman can fly, has superhuman strength, has super-hearing, enjoys eidetic hearing, and comes with super vision, consisting of heat vision, X-ray vision, infrared vision, and microscopic vision. Can he give his powers to someone else? Dads can and they do it all the time. They tell you how to fly without wings, how to develop an understanding of things to see beyond the obvious, and how to develop power and perseverance to overcome all obstacles in your life. Whenever dads lift their kids in their arms, it feels like flying. Only dads can make you feel that way!
Superman's cape might as well be woven from the fabric of dadhood because just like him, fathers seem to have a knack for perpetual resourcefulness. They might not leap over buildings, but they sure can lift spirits. With their toolbox ready, they fix toys and broken hearts with the same dedication. They teach resilience when we scrap our knees and instill courage as if it’s a secret ingredient in their life lessons cheesecake. It's no surprise we often find our greatest strengths rooted in their wisdom – dads indeed have a way of endowing us with superpowers.
5. Dads for Shopping
