James Breakwell is the epitome of what the Internet would call “dad goals” – though with 4 daughters to manage, he might not always feel like it.

4-year-old: Can I have candy?
Me: What did Mom say?
4: No.

It’s a trap.

My daughter’s lip is bleeding.
None of her sisters know what happened.
At least they know the first rule of Fight Club.

We went into the basement for a tornado.
My 3-year-old thought we were hiding from a tomato.
Honestly, that scared her even more.
