Children are often our greatest teacher (or at least my
children are mine). So, this past Sunday was Father’s Day and my daughter, who
will soon be 13, offered me a handmade gift (which are always the best in my
estimation). This gift was nothing more than a large card made from
construction paper, entitled “10 Things I Love About You, My Dad.” Please allow me to share them with you!
1.
You’re not ugly like most dads – Because most
dads I see are ugly, but you’re not ugly.
2.
You’re 1 in a million- No one acts like you, you’re
1 in a million.
3.
You have good facial hair- Other dads have ugly
facial hair, it’s all nappy and everything, but not yours.
4.
You like to have fun- Most dads sit on the couch
and sleep but you…you’re like, let’s go to the park, movies!
5.
You show up to most of my games, cheer
competition, everything- Most dads let the mom go but you show up!
6.
You’re smart- Most dads have the smarts but don’t
like to use it….but you like to use it everywhere.
7.
You like Law & Order- Most dads watch it but
don’t watch it with their kids, but you love to watch it with me.
8.
You’re not strict like some dads- You’re not
strict, most dads yell all the time but you don’t.
9.
You keep your house clean- Most dads let the kids
and their wife do all the work but
you like to clean.
Wow. That is sweet! Ray, I could have said the same thing about my maternal grandfather. I think about the lessons he taught me everyday. You are obviously a great father! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYou are too kind! I never had a sister, so raising a daughter has been interesting and a whole lotta fun! It was amazing to me how observant she's been, lol.
DeletePriceless! Obviously, you are doing an amazing job. Go on then with your good facial hair : - )
ReplyDeleteToo funny, right?! It's been a couple of years since I've even had any facial hair so I'm surprised she remembered, but what I found most funny was her opinion of other dad's "nappy" facial hair, lol.
