Have You Seen This? This dad wins parenting today

THE FAMILY ROOM — Think of the last time you could not stop laughing. Whatever it was that elicited those giggles probably wasn't that funny, but once the flood gates were opened there was no turning back.

By the time the chuckling had ceased, your throat was sore, your eyes were watering, and that sense of joy was still lingering in your soul. That, to me, is one of the greatest feelings one can experience.

The next best thing would be watching someone experience the feeling. But when I found this video, I found out I was wrong. The next best thing is watching this little guy experience that.

The video is really simple: a dad has a cut-out letter and when he holds it one way he says it's a "W" and when he holds it the other way, an "M." This sends his adorable little boy into hysterics and it's impossible to not get a smile on your face as you watch the interaction and hear that sweet, innocent and pure laughter.

There's something about a little one laughing that creates an almost euphoric feeling, where you're not sure if you should laugh along or weep at the absolute cuteness of it all. Do both, no one is watching. And if they are, who cares? This video is awesome.

Also, kudos to dad for making this little one laugh and learn at the same time. It's easy to say you've had a long day and push all this aside, but it's great to see a parent take the time to bring joy into their child's life.
