A thing that is good, like when your dad says you're the best, even though he probably still thinks you're a disappointment.
'You're the best son I ever had,' he said, while secretly Googling 'how to be a better dad.'
He called me a 'champion' after I failed a math test. I cried. He cried. Then he cried again.
He said I was 'dadlike' after I ate three pizzas for breakfast. I don't know what that means, but I'm not complaining.
