Yeah, I'm sure these quick snippets are the sum total of father-daughter interaction. Or maybe not. Maybe it's partially staged and edited for laughs. On second though, I'm sure of it. Here's a good reason to never be a parent - not wanting to be judged by everyone in sight.

That's pretty much how I was raised. Then you really appreciate when you get to put the station on what you like for once.

I can handle the annoying shit kids do way better than I can handle the annoying shit adults do. But your first sentence is 100% correct. My 2 and 4 year old kids annoyed the fuck out of me this weekend by annoying each other.

That's the beauty of the being the parent; you DON'T have to listen to it for hours. You can do whatever you want and they just need to deal with it.

Having spent ample time around kids, there is no way to play with them as often as they want to play. As sarahsnafu points out, this is obviously brief snippets played for laughs, but even so, it's just impossible. I love the kid I live with right now, and playing with her is so much fun, but there are times when I…

I have a 4 year old girl, and life is EXACTLY like that!
She's either dancing or jumping on/bouncing off the furniture.

It's pretty fun. She's taught me the importance of dance breaks.

If you're 18, I recommend jumping around on couches while wearing a blanket cape, dancing in a tutu in your living room and rocking out to loud music during snacktime instead of having a baby.

There is nothing you are doing in your life that would not be improved by the addition of a daughter.

The kid is active and is keeping herself occupied for the most part - seems like a pretty lucky parent to me. Whiny, clingy, angry, destructive kids are waaayyy worse. This little girl seems secure, happy, and loved.

Is your sister a cat?

Seriously. Did you see that part starting around 20 seconds where she quietly entertains herself with a toy in the background? Christ, that kid is worse than Pol Pot.

She's going to be dead soon, isn't she?

Please, can we not reduce THIS to an acronym? There are some activities that need to be spoken or written in their entirety. Female Genital Mutilation. Let's not tidy it up.

That kid is so cute I think I spontaneously grew ovaries.

I wiggle like that when I hear 'ice cream' too. I'm a man in my mid 20's. :P

My parents did it and it worked for me.

You know what's even more depressing? I read Twilight due to a recommendation I got from a SCHOLAR on children's lit! It was at a conference on YA lit and she raved about how great Twilight is. I think the only reason I kept reading the books was because I was desperately hoping for Bella to ditch both Edward and…

I'm genuinely excited about TFIOS. And Shailene is a damn good actor.

That was my initial thought as well. But then thinking about it, that show offered Molly Ringwald as a happy lesbian, and girls getting themselves out of fucked up high school relationships, then going off to the colleges of their choice. It subverts the familiar paradigm of the couple who's, "meant to be," by setting…

Thank you. When we couch our declarative statements with apologies, we lessen their power and impact.
