"Daddy Pride" is the first half of the second episode in the first season of Stanley.
Summary[]
Stanley is upset that his daddy often has to stop playing with him to go to work. He decides that maybe he should get an animal to be his daddy—perhaps a lion. Worried that this may not be the best idea, Dennis urges him to consult The Great Big Book of Everything. Stanley learns that when it comes to lions, playing is serious business, and a lion may not be well-suited to be his father.
