What does a super dad look like? Will he fly around like Superman or grow smaller and bigger like Ant-Man? In the book, the children will make their father angry; his father is very busy at work and sometimes comes home very late... However, he loves to play and laugh, and no matter how busy he is, he will still find time to spend quality time with his family: Bathing the children and coaxing them to play; picking them up from their grandparents' house; enjoying the scenery and watching the rainbow with the children... In the eyes of the children, this is their super dad, who is much better than perfect!
Just like Theo and Alice's dads in the book, every dad wants to be the perfect dad. However, they can't find the guideline so easily, so they improvise.
When I was young, my father would ride a big 28-inch bicycle, with my sister sitting in front and my mother holding me in the back, riding all the way from my grandma’s house back to my grandma’s house. At that moment, he was my super dad. When I went to school, I participated in a homemade car model competition. From the preliminary round to the semi-finals, my father taught me how to assemble and use pliers to adjust the axle to control the direction of the car. At that moment, he was my super dad...
When I grew up, I had my baby, and I watched him grow up day by day with my dad.
When Xiaobao was two years old, I took him to play at the beach in Sanya. He didn’t dare to step on the beach, and I couldn’t hold him for a long time due to physical reasons, so Bao’s father hung a big camera, three pairs of shoes, A pillow bag containing a milk powder box, diapers, replacement clothes, and sweat towels was carried in my arms all the way to the big rock at the end of the world. At that moment, he was my super dad.
? One day before Xiaobao’s 11th birthday this year, Bao’s dad took him to pick out gifts at City R Us, and he picked a toy gun because he could play against his dad. Unfortunately, the outer packaging of the toy was broken. Xiaobao was afraid that the toy inside would also be broken, so he finally reluctantly gave up. After returning home, I couldn't forget it for several days. My father also went to several shopping malls to look for it after get off work for several days in a row, but he couldn't find it. Finally one day, Bao’s father, who never shopped online, found the same model online. God knows how much effort he put into it. Xiaobao was very happy that day. He said: Dad, you are so amazing! At that moment, dad was a super dad in his mind.
Since Xiaobao went to school, his father sent him to take piano lessons and taekwondo. As long as he did not work overtime, it would not fall even if it rained heavily; he would accompany him to climb mountains and play football on weekends. Even if the sun is blazing, there are still a lot of them every week; although Bao's dad always dictates English words with a curry-flavored accent, although Bao's dad always tries his best to cheat when playing car racing and gunfights, although Bao's dad mentions letting Xiaobao sleep He always frowns and gets angry, but Xiaobao is still willing to play boy's games with his father, because his father is the super dad in his heart.
? A super dad is not a perfect dad, because he is much better than perfect!
