My son knocked over a full glass of juice headed straight for the laptop. I caught it one handed without even thinking. My wife was like 'oh my god that was amazing' and I just looked at her and said 'that's what I trained for.' The kids didn't laugh but I thought it was pretty good.
That's the dad superpower right there! Three kids in, I've pulled off some ridiculous catches myself. Your wife's reaction is priceless because you don't even realize you're doing it until after.
Man, this is what I'm looking forward to. Right now my newborn just knocks things over slowly, but I know these lightning-fast moments are coming. Nice work on the save!
This is the kind of story that never gets old. Getting told to all three of my kids and they're just like 'dad that was awesome.' Definitely earned some dad points there.
That's a legendary dad reflex move. One handed catch with a full glass is professional athlete level stuff. Did the laptop survive?

Those split second reactions are real. I've had like three of these moments and they're always wild. Your body just knows what to do.
