Dad is writhing on the ground due to an inability to react quickly, or
at least anticipate the child's trajectory. A simple hip twist or a
quick scooping up of the incoming projectile gets the boys out of the
danger zone. :)
How about if Dad is unable to react quickly because Dad is already
holding one of the buttar's siblings?
As a father of only one (living) child, I don't qualify to answer, but
you see that it doesn't stop me from having an opinion in the matter...
Dad is holding a human shield: I don't see the problem. Isn't that why
people have other kids? To turn them against one another?
