One Tired Dad 🤦‍♂️👶🤦‍♀️<p>My kid wanted to know who Johnny Storm (The Human Torch) is, so we watched the first Fantastic 4 movie. We’re watching the part where they’re having a public fight between Johnny and The Thing in front of a huge crowd and I was wondering why no one was filming the thing with their phones. Then I checked the year the movie came out (2005) and thought two things. Damn I’m old and I miss those times. <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/Parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Parenting</span></a> <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/Marvel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Marvel</span></a></p>
