dad reflexes
Dad reflexes are like superpowers that come from years of watching kids do stupid stuff and yelling at them. They can react faster than a kid who just ate three burgers.
Dad sees kid about to fall off the couch. Dad catches him before he hits the floor. Kid thinks it's a normal day.
Dad sees kid reaching for a hot stove. Dad slaps his hand before he even feels the burn. Kid screams like he's been stabbed.
Dad sees kid about to get hit by a car. Dad pulls him out of the way. Kid is confused and thinks he's dreaming.
