I was a little late picking Grace up from school today. She was upset.
I haven't seen her much in the last couple of days, so she was extra lovey-dovey when we got home. She also got a few Valentines stickers from Grammie and Papa, and told me, "I love you so much because you're so special!"
So I pressed, "What makes me so special, Grace? What makes me unique?"
Grace looked like she was being quizzed, "Because you're my daddy!" She proceeded to squeeze me like a teddy bear.
But I pressed further, "But what makes me different than other daddies? What makes me different than everyone else?"
Grace thought really hard, then guessed, "Because you're colorblind?"
I knew I shouldn't have asked her.
seriously. write the book. because these stories are priceless.

At least your child doesn't make you a sentimental looking card with only the words, "Daddy, you're fat!" written inside. At least he gave a slim jim with it!
Thanks for sharing, Mike. Give Grace and Julia a hug for us!
