Dads Are Competing To See Who Can Stack The Most Cheerios On Their Babies

Just in time for Father’s Day, a group of dads have found a way to make boring babies fun

Babies are cute and all. But they’re boring as fuck. They don’t do anything, and most of the stuff they do do (no pun intended except it was totally intended) is annoying. We love them and all, but let’s be serious: they don’t bring a lot to the table. Their entertainment value is limited. There are only so many times you can get excited about a vacant smile, am I right?

So thank God for Life of Dad and the viral sensation they’ve launched, in which dads across the country are attempting to outdo each other by seeing how many Cheerios they can stack on their sleeping babies faces.

It all started when Patrick Quinn of Life of Dad, the online community for fathers that’s closing in on one million Facebook followers, posted a picture of his sleeping baby with a stack of five Cheerios on his head. He then challenged the internet to top him.

Parents of infants, can you top 5??? Prove it when you do!

Top him they did.

More power to these dads for finding a way to spice up life with an infant.

I have a five-month-old and he does four things: smiles, cries, eats, and poops. I love the little guy, but let’s move this along already! I know, I know, be careful what you wish for – I also have a five-year-old and the baby is a LOT easier to deal with. But the five-year-old at least gives me something to work with. We watch movies together, we play catch, we have conversations. The baby? He’s a brick wall. He’s an accessory. He’s boring. But not anymore! Thanks Life of Dad!

It makes sense that this took off on Father’s Day weekend, because it’s definitely a dad thing to do. Moms would never jeopardize their children by placing dried cereal on their precious noggins! Actually, there hasn’t been any outrage yet, which is a relief, because who isn’t sick of the parental judgment that has overwhelmed social media the past few weeks? This is simply a fun, harmless diversion.

Harmless, that is, until you wake the baby up. It’s all fun and games until your kid stops sleeping and starts crying. Then the joke’s on Dad!
