Cool dad attempts to make a perfect splash for his daughter's pic

Please enlist your dads for Instagram assistance.

Need Instagram assistance? Consider enlisting your father.

Like so many other summer enjoyers, Twitter user @CaityMarie1423 took a photo of herself shotgunning a beverage this weekend. (In her case, it was a Truly hard seltzer, which is admittedly an unorthodox choice.) But one thing set her pic apart from the others: an impressive splash effect courtesy of her dad. Like, he literally jumped into the water so that the photo would have a cool splash in the background.

The sacrifice!

Luckily, Cait has shots of the whole operation, from her dad's leap to when he catches some air to the splash itself. It is truly a beautiful sight -- and that second photo seems destined to become a meme.

Cait's dad doesn't have Twitter, she explained via DM, so he's been asking her for updates on the tweet's performance. "[He's] staying humble as ever," she said.

Could it be that we can trust our dads' social media instincts after all?
