In today’s culture, dads often get a bad rap. In TV shows, movies, and commercials, they’re either portrayed as cold and distant or as bumbling fools. Despite everything dads do, people love to pretend they’re the incompetent gender, barely even capable of changing a diaper on their own.

In fact, dads are no more clueless than moms. All parents learn from experience— and being born a certain sex does not dictate whether your parenting will be top-notch. In the end, men and women simply have different styles of doing things, and while a man’s style of parenting may not mesh with a woman’s, perhaps they have a valuable lesson to offer— a lesson in having fun, perhaps?

In this video, viewed nearly 40 million times, one mom discovers exactly how her husband deals with the kids when she is away.

The video description reads:

“Rujeana, the mother of two children, decided to set up a camera of her kids in the living room.”

“The idea was to set up a camera, so their grandma can see their kids doing cute things.”

“Instead, she found out how her husband takes care of the kids when she isn’t there.”

In the adorable video, you see Rujeana’s youngest daughter hopping in a jumper while the oldest dances to pop music with a set of pompoms.

It looks like the oldest may be practicing karaoke, as you can see the lyrics of the song (Katy Perry’s “Extraterrestrial”) on the screen. Shortly after, you see Dad walking down the hallway.

When Dad sees his daughter’s routine, he immediately decides to join in.

At first, he wears a serious face, performing a robot dance.

His daughter is clearly amused by his antics and begins to dance more energetically. As she grows more involved, so does he— each feeding off the other’s energy.
