Have you come across the “pick a card date nights” trend on TikTok? Typically designed for couples, this fun concept involves one partner selecting between two cards that detail different activities, like “picnic in the park” or “dinner and a movie.” The twist is that they don’t know what’s written on the card until after they’ve made their choice. The reactions can be priceless, especially when one partner unexpectedly picks a chore!
One dad decided to put his own spin on this idea by taking his young daughter on their own “pick a card” adventure, and it turned out to be absolutely adorable.
Joshua Chavez began by offering his daughter, Indie, two cards: one read “shopping spree at Target,” and the other “trip to Disney World.” Indie eagerly picked the former.
If you were concerned that she missed out on Disney, fear not! Indie was seen jumping with joy at the thought of new toys awaiting her at Target, clearly thrilled with her choice.
Next, the duo was spotted navigating the toy aisle, with Indie’s small shopping cart already filled to the top with goodies.
Then it was time for the next decision: sushi or Starbucks. Indie gleefully chose sushi, and we see them enjoying a delightful meal together.
Finally, the last choice was between a tea party or a spa night. Indie opted for a spa night, complete with foot massages and cucumbers over their eyes—the full experience! Dad joined in, making it even cuter.
“The best date of my life,” the father wrote in his video caption.
The clip, shared by Madison Chavez, Indie’s mom, quickly garnered 4.3 million views on TikTok. Viewers were not only charmed by the sweet moments but also appreciated how this dad was making a significant effort for his daughter.
Here’s what people had to say:
- “Brought a tear to my eye thinking about my daughter. It’s great to see positive fatherhood.”
- “She will remember this for the rest of her life.”
- “As someone who never got this, thank you, sir. That’s one lucky girl!”
- “Bro, you embody what a man should be. That’s so beautiful. Your love for your daughter shines through. Thank you for sharing.”
- “Cherish these moments; they grow up so fast.”
It’s widely recognized that the relationships we have with our parents during childhood can significantly impact our adult lives. This dad clearly understands the importance of nurturing the bond with his daughter. As he has shown, even the simplest activities can help create lasting, positive memories. While no parent is perfect, making a genuine effort can profoundly affect a child's life.
