January 21, 2009They call me Dad
I can move mountains.
I can kick the boogy-man’s ass even on my worst day.
I have every tool ever invented- and know how to properly use most of them.
I love your mother and listen to what she says.
I can beat up your bully’s dad.
I know where you left your favorite toy even if you don’t.
I can teach you how to tie your shoes, make an omelet and shave your face all in the same morning.
I yell- but I’m not a threat.
I can open a jelly jar with my bare hands.
I’m afraid of nothing- except disappointing my children.
And yes son, if your teacher asks you to build a robot out of garbage- I can do that too.
