A Dad Gets A Standing Ovation For What He Says To Boys Who Want To Date His Daughter. Well Played.

DISCLOSURE: I have a daughter. Someday, she will grow up and become a young woman and probably want to date people. There's this awful lizard part of my brain that gets protective of her and imagines threatening others who might date her someday, 13 years from now. And while I get protective of my son too, I think differently about each. It's totally a hypocritical and ridiculous double standard. Because if you raise your kids right, they'll make mistakes but they'll be responsible and make good choices (hopefully). Their gender is irrelevant to that. So I want to acknowledge that I'm aware of my rampant hypocrisy. I'm a dad. I'm a jackass. I'm learning how to fight it and hold myself to a higher standard.

Which brings me to Jesse Parent, a dad who says all the things that probably every parent has dealt with. At 1:50, he disables his lizard brain. And at 2:42, he makes up for his first two minutes. Hilariously.
