Cheeky dad reveals clever hack for taking a nap while watching the kids – by getting them to draw him
A DAD has revealed how he can nap in peace while simultaneously entertaining his children in a viral post.
Mum-of-four Monica Weber, who lives in Colarado, went to the shops after her husband Michael told her he would look after the kids only to come home to find him curled up asleep on the sofa.
“I’ll keep the kids so you can grocery shop in peace …then I come home to this,” she wrote on Facebook.
But then she discovered that the kids were sat patiently by their dad, quietly drawing him.
“I’m pretty sure he’s the most brilliant man I’ve ever known. He has them doing ‘realism art’ while he ‘poses’ AKA naps,” she added.
“The winner gets a chocolate, but let’s be honest, Michael is the one winning. Nice one Michael, nice one!”
Now if that isn’t a genius idea to surreptitiously get in a nap over the silly season, I don’t know what is.
The post quickly racked up over 33,000 shares and and almost 10,000 comments.
“Honestly, this is the best idea I’ve seen all year,” wrote one.
“Smart man,” added another dad. “I’m taking notes.”
