Happy belated Father's Day to all the dads out there, and happy Zaddy's Day to Christopher Meloni.
But seriously though.
The thirst is real.
But Chris Meloni is a father for real, with an incredibly clever daughter.
Meloni has two children, a daughter named Sophia and a son named Dante with his wife Doris. For Father's Day, Sophia got him a framed viral tweet concerning a time when she and her brother were children and a passerby saw the two toddlers making a fuss:
Sophia's gift was memorialized by Meloni on his Instagram.
People were absolutely charmed by this gift.

Toddlers are a force to be reckoned with, and even tough guys like Meloni are not fully equipped to handle it.

If you want to get your dad an equally awesome gift, maybe a framed photo of you crying as a toddler.
