Dad parade
When a group of families gets together and one of the kids convinces their dad to carry them, especially on the shoulder, it triggers the other kids to force their fathers to match the first dad's antics...
Kid 1: I'm tired. Carry me?
Dad 1: okay
Kids 2 through N: daddy - I'm tired...carry me!!! I said carry me like kid 1's dad! His dad obviously loves him more than you love me!
Mom 1: don't look now mom 2...it's the dad parade...
Mom 2: oh no - dad 2 hurt his back last week and was just starting to get better...
Mom 1: blame my husband - he should know better than to trigger a dad parade...
Dad 1: okay
Kids 2 through N: daddy - I'm tired...carry me!!! I said carry me like kid 1's dad! His dad obviously loves him more than you love me!
