Power move by dad had everyone (including the kids) cheering

Power move by dad had everyone (including the kids) cheering

This has got to be one of the most ''Dad" things ever, a boss move that we all could learn from.

Birthdays are meant to be special, but as we get older, there are those of us who retract from celebrating and making a big hoo-ha over these special days.

When you're a parent, though, there's this natural desire to make things about your kids, because deep down, you know that they get more excited and delighted over the cake and candles...

One father who was celebrating his birthday made us realise that when you become a dad, your ability to make power moves just escalates. 

This father didn't make his birthday cake about him, but he made it all about his kids. 

We think it was all strategic in nature because had he not done what he did, then maybe everyone in the video would've been crying instead of cheering.

When we first watched the video we thought that maybe it was his kids' birthdays and that maybe they were triplets. But after careful inspection, we realised that it was the father's birthday. 

Ah, dads, they really know how to calm a situation. 

To the fathers making power moves out there, we salute you.
