Meet the dad who’s scared of EVERYTHING

Scaring your dad isn’t kind, but it is hilarious.

Scaring your dad, it’s the sport of life. A cherished moment when you first realize that the man you looked up to can be spooked like the rest of us. It’s the acceptance that he’s fallible and is epitomized in the span of 1:26.

Consistency. It’s a word you hear repeated in every sport and this dad has it down pat. Every trigger word gets one of two reactions either “aaah!” or “oh, f*ck!” It’s quite beautiful really.

Heck even hearing the name of Dutch tennis star “Caroline Wozniacki” sends him into a tailspin.
