Every Serena Williams fan knows in the legend’s household, “Sunday means Papa Pancakes.” Started by Ohanian for his daughter Olympia, this tradition offers a unique bonding moment between the father-daughter duo. The Reddit co-founder had a similar session with his father while growing up, and he continued that with his daughter with an adorable glee. He once made a pancake that looked similar to Disney Princess Ariel. Now, he is back again with another design that left everyone quite amused!
Ohanian shared a clip on his official Instagram profile where people saw him drawing a pancake with the colorful batter. He drew the character Smurfette from the famous animated show Smurfs and revealed the story behind it. “@olympiaohanian said I reminded her of Brawny Smurf today, and it made my week. #PapaPancakes,” wrote Ohanian, sharing the reel.
Now Brawny Smurf, aka Brainy Smurf, is one of the show’s main characters. This character thinks he is smarter than everyone, and that brings the fun element to the show. Needless to say, Ohanian’s incredible talent made his daughter believe he could fit the role of the Brainy Smurf, and it delighted him.
