My dad was born in Quito, Ecuador and eventually moved to the United States with his parents. Though he has lived in the United States for awhile now, he still has his Spanish ways that make up who he is, especially as a dad. You think it's the dad jokes that make a dad stand out? Think about having a Hispanic dad who has his dad jokes plus his Spanish background that allows him to add his own twist to being a dad.
1. They might jump to conclusion before you get the second word of your sentence out.
GiphyYou were about to tell your dad about that test you might not have done so great on is getting dropped, but all he heard was you failed the test.
2. They might break out into dance randomly and then tell you this is where you got your rhythm from.
GiphyA dance party might be started in your kitchen when a good song comes on and your dad will break out his Spanish dance moves, then tell you the reason you're such a good dancer is because of him.
3. Don't be surprised if you find him looking in a mirror telling himself how handsome he is.
Yeah so when your dad says wow you look amazing, there's a high chance he is telling himself that he looks amazing while you stand there.
4. They will back you up on anything you tell them, if you don't like that person they don't like that person.
If you tell them a story on why you don't like a certain person they most likely won't tell you to just let it go, they'll probably agree with you.
5.They'll talk to everyone and tell those strangers all about your life.
Even if you're just on the elevator for a short amount of time that one person who is on it will know where you go to school, your major and what you want to do after you graduate.
6.You will know certain words in Spanish, probably like hurry up and a couple of curse words .
At some point in your life, you'll hear words you've heard your dad say and think to yourself hey I know what that means! Then when it comes to the curse words as you get older you eventually figure out what your dad was saying all those times he would get mad.
7. They can be sensitive about anything.
When I say anything I mean anything, even the smallest of things. You could tell your dad you decided to write a paper about him or make him a heartfelt card, either way, he will still break down in tears.
8. They like to give you motivational text messages or speeches.
Some days it might feel like you have no motivation at all, but your dad will always be there to give you those texts or speeches that make you feel like you can take on the world!
9. They will go above and beyond to make sure your life is perfect.
Your dad is going to do everything in his life to make sure you get everything in your life.
10. Their craziness makes them who they are.
They might be a little crazy, but you know they love you and you love their craziness because it makes them who they are.
