My Dad used to Super Speechless me. Thanks for reminding me of that. I loved those times we played. Great video and great advice.

Roughhousing made me the man I am today

....that and hallucinogens

I love that their definition of being "manly" isn't going out and beating someone up.

Dads are great.

Children are great. Funny how everyone only wants one or two. I think most people only want their token children for their own self pleasure.

roughhousing = stress factor
a stress factor places a demand on the neurological system, which then adapts.

over-roughhousing your kids when they are at they're squishiest, also can leave them with a permanent physical impairment.

getting dropped on my head made me... what was i saying?

That's the most cynical statement I think I've ever read, congratulations?

That moustache just lends an air of authority to everything he says.

I don't have kids, but I do teach a kids martial arts class once a week. At the end of every class, I would award a lollipop to whichever kid worked the hardest. One week I ran out of lollipops, so I gave the kid a koshi nage (hip throw). Since then, I offer them a choice of lollipop or koshi. 9 times out of 10, they choose the koshi.

And just in time for father's day... wait, mother's day.. ehh close enough.

The only time I remember anything remotely [playful] roughhouse-y with MY male parental unit was during a big storm on a Columbus Day when "dear old dad" took my sister and I out on the front lawn to swing us around by the wrists in 60+ MPH winds. Good times? Better than a beating!

I am a father of a certain number of children. Let's just say more than your average. It is very common for people to approach me and ask how many children I plan on having. When the question is returned to them (if they have a child/children) they nearly always respond with, "Oh, I'm DONE having children! I'm not going to have ANY MORE. No way!" They say that with their own children standing right there. Whether they realize it or not, they are telling their existing children that they do not want to have to deal with any more people like THEM. It's a great insult and devalues, whether consciously or subconsciously, the child's existence.

But that's all negative thinking, like you said. Here's the positive: Children are AWESOME (when you love them)! Have more! :-D

Had to fight fight the urge to wake my kid up and fling him around

My dad is Obama. Oooh burn!

They're just being practical. Kids cost money and time and it's responsible to plan out their future care and prospects.

Or you could breed like bunnies and hope one of them makes it so you won't end up in some shitty nursing home.

#7 - Roughhousing with your kids allows you to demonstrate your strength. There's nothing that reinforces respect than showing that all three of them together can't beat you in arm wrestling, or you can do pushups with them all on your back. The next time you have to growl at them for something they should be doing, they move just a little bit faster.

Obama as a dad might be great. Obama as a president, terrible.

Sort of like Hitler, huh? I feel ya, scro.

aaaaaaand scene.
