Dad.

DAD.

DAAAAAAAAD!

Daaaaaad.

Dad squared.

Dads were kids once, too.

Dad.

Dads hate to lose, but cute kids make it easier.

Oh, look! It's Obama and a small child. Cute.

The stuff that dog dad dreams are made of.

Aw.

Some dads are obviously ready for grandchildren.

DAD.

V. cool.

Back at the wheel.

All dads love couches.

Back-to-school book-shopping dad.

Presidential strut dad.

Tucked-in polo dad.

"Cool"-jeans dad.

Dads never remember that their kids know how to swim.

They-grow-up-so-fast dad.

Snow-cone dad.

"You win some, you lose some, but you always play the game" dad

"Ummm..? Sure, she'll like this!" dad.

I'm-going-to-teach-you-a-life-lesson-now dad.

Helmet dad!

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD.

Heh heh heh. Dad.

Dads always root for the underdogs.

A dad is always there to shield you, to protect you, to be your physical SPF blocker.

Sneakers? Check. Whiskered jeans? Check. Tucked-in tee? Check. High-five? You bet.

Reach-for-the-stars dad.

Literary dad!

Four babies + a window + POTUS = DAD.

When your kids and wife refuse to meet your gaze because you're sew, like, embarrrassssssing.

Inauguration Day dad!

Fist-bump dad.

Swoon.

Okay, but where's your helmet, Dad?

A dad in a tiara, because he knows the power that kweens have.

"I just want one bite!" he says, taking every single sprinkle in one fell swoop. I mean, classic dad move.

Cookout dad!

Soccer-game dad.

Dog dad.

"Hello, it's me" dad.

"I'm tired, Dad!" dad!

Dads-make-sandwiches-too dad.

And, finally, lonely flip-flop dad.
