When fathers and dads usually have the image of being the tough figure in a family, many people can tell you how soft and kind they actually are. Towards their young little princesses at home, there are almost nothing dads won't do for them. Like a rite of passage, one of the most common things dads experience is getting makeup (read: painted) on their faces. Girls who love to look pretty will also want everyone else around them to look pretty!

Of course, it's not easy to take off those permanent nail polish, especially when you're a single dad without nail polish remover. But seeing those smiles plastered on their faces, hearing the giggles as they try to work on eye makeup, makes it all worth it. Precious moments that you won't get back, memories that these kids will definitely keep when they try to remember back what the lockdown was like: fun!

Aw, that shy smile from the girl.
