#4 The Face Of A Parent Who Had To Deal With The Fact That His Child Really Locked Her Mother In Her Bedroom Because She Got Her Mouth Stuck On The Doorknob From The Other Side Of The Door

Image source: maddie_johnson I love and miss my dad so much, but this photo makes me laugh so hard. Bro was TIRED He also tried to teach me how to play backgammon multiple times, but I kept trying to eat the pieces. Shoutout to my dad. Best dad. Very patient man. He also used to bring me out on the deck at night to say goodnight to the moon. He'd be like "Say goodnight to Luna!" and I'd be like "Goodnight Moona!" because kids are stupid. But also, this man worked at NASA. He gave up the opportunity to go to outer space because he would miss me too much. Imagine giving up that opportunity just for your child to say "Moona" smh.
