"He's an extraordinarily intelligent (child). The other day he told me, 'To obliterate is to have power.'" He added that his son is already outclassing him because he does not have any idea how his son learned those big words.
3. Enjoy the simple rewards of fatherhood. While fatherhood can be challenging, dads can always find joy out of simple things. On his Twitter account, Pratt posted an old photo with a to-do-list that his father has created for him.
