A Father, a Dad or a Daddy?
There are three levels of paternal titling. A man can be a father, he can be a dad, or he can be a daddy.
A father is a standoffish figure. He is there, but not for emotional support. This is a man that you would hug with hesitation, because as his child you really know very little about him. He may seem only a figure that only provides financial support to the family, not much emotional support.
Think of Darth Vader. “Luke, I am your father.” Not “Luke, I am your daddy.”
A dad is a chum, a buddy. A dad is the guy who will cart you around and take you to your different sports, who will teach you to pitch so that you can join softball. He’s usually good for $5 or $10 when you’re short on cash. Emotional support is available, but really only for positive emotions. He is ill adept at helping his upset child. A dad will introduce you to beer when you were little, because he knows you’ll hate the taste and it’ll scare you off until you’re at least sixteen or seventeen.
A daddy… well that’s the highest level of paternal titling. A daddy is almost always reserved for daughters. A daddy is a man who can do anything and would do anything for his child. While he may be a tiny bit reluctant to hand out free money whenever you ask, there is no doubt that if your life takes a bad turn your daddy will help you with a stern look and a “well I just hope you’ll think twice before this happens again.” A daddy also has an uncanny ability to see the bad in your boyfriend or girlfriend, but is patient enough to wait several months after the breakup to say ‘I told you so.’ A daddy is priceless and rare, unlike any other treasure in the world. When he sees his little girl with tears in her eyes he will do everything in the world to make it better. The true sign of a daddy is when you bounce into the room and he’s glum and you give him a cheerful “Hi Daddy!” he gets a subtly pained look on his face, but when you look back at him a few moments later he’s got a little smile.
