Marcus Hill and his seven-year-old son, MJ, wake up early every Sunday to prepare a big breakfast that the boy could deliver to his mom. The adorable dad and son team up make sure to dance as they cook eggs and bacon on the griddle.
Hill explained to TODAY that their breakfast ritual started when he wanted to show his wife what they are doing. He said that his wife had no idea at first what was going on in the kitchen. All she would hear are just pots and pans, so the loving husband recorded the preparation to show his wife.
How it all began
Hill, who lives in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, shared how their ritual began. He said that he wanted to do something extra special for his wife on Valentine's Day. He had his son help him with cooking breakfast. Later on, the little boy said that he wanted to keep cooking for his mom.
The doting husband said that MJ saw that his mom was happy. It made the seven-year-old son want to keep doing it. Hill said that he will pick one thing on the weekend and get ready for cooking.
Dad shared videos on Instagram story
At first, Hill shared the videos on his Instagram story, which only appears for 24 hours. His friends encouraged him to share the videos on his profile. Now, the sweet breakfast ritual moments of the father and son duo have brightened the days of thousands of people.
Hill shared that he grew up in a single-parent home. As a school teacher, he knows a lot of kids who do not have parents in the household. He said that after he started posting his videos, he received comments from friends and people he does not know. People wrote that what he posted was inspirational. Some shared that they did not have a dad growing up.
Hill said that he did not plan to inspire anyone, but he was glad to bring positivity to the people. He also said that when he posted his breakfast ritual videos, he did not mean to make it viral. The father said that he wants to keep posting to keep making people happy.
While most gave good comments, there were also some who criticized him. Hill said that no matter what a person does, there would always be someone who will say something negative. He shared that a person has to have thick skin to not be bothered by the negative people and their comments.
Father and son bonding
MJ said that he loves spending time with his dad. Dancing in the kitchen is no different from playing sports. He said that it is fun to do lots of stuff with his dad. Aside from cooking and playing football, MJ grills with his dad too.
On Sunday, MJ was the one who planned for the breakfast menu. He cooked eggs, bacon, waffles, and sausages.
