In classic dad fashion, Serena Williams’ husband messed around with his daughter despite the truth being clear as day. As the two roamed a garden on a sunny day, the two got into an argument about Alexis Ohanian’s height. When trying to think of someone who towered over her father, Olympia thought of a revolutionary, with the entrepreneur sticking to his claim in an adorable banter.
Ohanian recently took to his Instagram handle to share a video where the Reddit co-founder stood in front of a sunflower that towered over him. To caption their conversation, he wrote, “Tbh I had no idea sunflowers could get this tall until we started growing em on the farm…”
Olympia started the conversation by stating, “There’s a man even taller than Abraham.” Ohanian, surprised, repeats, “Are you serious? Even taller than me?” Olympia insists, “Yeah, I believe it. Even taller than Abraham.” The American entrepreneur, amused, inquired, “How tall was Abraham?”

Olympia quips, “Tall. He was taller than you.” Ohanian Sr. had a quick rebuttal saying, “Really? Nobody’s taller than me.” The six-year-old stood her ground to say, “Look it up. Who’s the tallest person in the world?

Her dad promises, “I’m gonna look it up as soon as we’re done.” Then asks, “What do you think of this sunflower?” to change the subject. However, Olympia was not falling for his tricks as she continued, “Because I saw a robot.”
A few weeks ago, in an episode of his podcast, The Business Dad, Ohanian shared that his father-daughter relationship with Olympia functions much like a manager-employee dynamic. He compared it to how a manager tackles his meetings with his six-year-old, seeking assessments on ongoing performance while talking about prior accomplishments and future goals.

Ohanian humorously noted, “I literally ask Olympia for a performance review. Sometimes she tells me, ‘You just squeeze me too hard. You’ve got to ease up on that.’” During a strict cooking session last year, Serena Williams’s husband, who had been Head Chef, was reduced to assistant and had to follow the whims of his daughter

With his 5-year-old daughter, the 40-year-old American businessman spends his Sundays crafting special moments in the kitchen. Last year, he shared his observations from one of their baking sessions on Twitter, saying, “Working the kitchen with Jr. is no joke.” The Reddit co-founder was seen pleading with his tiny chef, “Chef, I need a hand, chef,” but Olympia responded with a smile and a playful nod.

With a big grin across her face, Olympia asked excitedly how the muffins were doing in the oven. “Papa Chef, where is the cake?” in a later video. In response, Ohanian, relishing his job as an assistant, retorted with a laugh, saying, “In the oven, chef, probably 10 more minutes, chef.” Their jovial conversation encapsulated the happiness of their time spent in the kitchen.
The duo has always served amusing videos to their fans. Their banter comes in a classic dad/daughter fashion, which would make many nostalgic. As Adira joins the fray, will she be just as snarky with her father?
