How to have the best Father’s Day ever

Jordan Watson might be an Internet sensation, but the cool Kiwi dad says there’s basically only one way to have the best Father’s Day ever.

The hugely popular, How To Dad, makes videos on parenting, and shares the often hilarious results online.

His two girls, three-year-old Mila and 20-month-old Alba, both feature heavily in the clips, with dad Jordan trying, usually quite unsuccessfully, to wrangle the pair.

But the clip went viral, and Jordan shot straight to ‘Z grade’ celebrity status.

“A mate at work had a kid on the way. I was bored at home with my new born, and thought of making a ‘how to hold a baby’ video for him. It wasn’t flash or very PC.

“I uploaded it and it went nuts – worldwide and all that,” he told the New Zealand Herald.

So far, the clip has had more than 2.5 million views on You Tube and is still popular.

His latest video, a special ode to Father’s Day, tomorrow, keeps the message pretty simple.

“Basically, just let us dads have a sleep in.

“That’s it, you know, we don’t ask for much – just a little sleep in, and maybe listen to us when we say stop. Don’t just run away when we’re trying to catch you.”
