Dad scares daughter with a shadow puppet

‘Pupaphobia’ is the fear of puppets and thanks to a YouTube user called ‘Dad Oftheyear’, his toddler may now suffer from it.

The man with the presumptuous moniker uploaded his video with the more accurate title, “Not going to win father of the year award.”

The video shows a dad and his daughter out for a nice stroll on a sunny day when, all of a sudden, a sidewalk shadow crocodile ruins the fun.

But the little girl starts to cry and puts a hand out in an effort to stop the creature from coming any closer.

Don’t worry, as she begins to flee, her father quickly drops the act and scoops her up to safety.

“I got you, I got you,” he can be heard saying. “Was that scary?”

Ya, thanks dad.
