For dads, the experience of expecting a child isn’t as hands-on as for moms. Though they might take the brunt of responsibilities, their routine mostly revolves around waiting. However, every dad has their own way of waiting for their firstborn, and some find it a great opportunity to exercise their silly dad humor along the way.
An Australian man named Maitland Hanley did that and more, and his silly experience gave him an opportunity to experience solidarity and empathy with his wife while she’s expecting. What was the magical solution that helped Maitland achieve all of that? Well, he strapped watermelons on his torso and tried being pregnant for a day.
