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:
I saw Chris Meloni, one of the toughest tough guys on television, failing to control two toddlers at a brunch at Columbus Circle circa 2007.https://twitter.com/rebeccamakkai/status/1404227881195261959\u00a0\u2026— MZS (@MZS) 1623635483
Toddlers are uncontrollable. You\u2019d be asking him to exceed the speed of light.— Maps and Legends (@Maps and Legends) 1623642115
His kids have a sense of humourpic.twitter.com/UbXKg8PwXy— Allan (@Allan) 1624834822
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.
