Daddy's Humor

Me: (showing Lane LK's Easter pic) Isn't she the cutest thing you've ever seen?



Lane: She looks like Gordon the Fisherman.



Me: That kinda hurts my feelings.



Lane: What, they fished on Easter (with a smirk)



I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. I guess I'll just laugh. That is Lena Kate's Daddy's humor.



On a slightly more serious note, I just hope one day he tells her she is beautiful like my Dad told me...of course there were a few Gordon the Fisherman comments thrown in, but I will always cherish the beautiful comments from my Dad much more. It is amazing how at one point in your life you could care less what your Dad thinks of how you look, rather you are mad at him because he does (short skirts, etc.), and then you come full circle and realize how deeply in love you are with the man you call Dad and how deeply to the core you care what his opinion of you is, how you look, and if he is proud of you. All you dads out there, whether it is natural to you or not, compliment your daughters and dote on them. They will love to put on fashion shows for you after shopping with their mother and you will break their heart if you are disinterested in the girlie things. I'm guessing you can tell by now I put on a few fashion shows for Dad. He was always so good. I have a very special bond with my Dad...yes, I'm a Daddy's girl. I'm just sure that Lena Kate and her Daddy will have a similar relationship. I can't wait to watch it unfold.....I can just picture him teaching her how to ride a horse and to enjoy the simple things in life as he does. Lane is a great Daddy. How wonderful it is to think of our future family moments.

Yes, all this from a simple silly conversation about a photo. My mind wonders. OK, re-read the conversation part of this post and take it with the light heart that was intended when I started this post!...Trust the Gordon Fisherman...or something like that. She's the cutest Gordon I've ever seen! I now will have a fun memory every time I see a fish stick.
