Verbatim Discussion From Ten Minutes Ago

View Comments


KatyBeth: “Dad, we need to discuss something.”

AD: “What’s that, Scooterpoot?”

KatyBeth: “Well, we need to decide what our plans are for this weekend!”

AD: “And what would you like to do this weekend?”

KatyBeth: “Well, Sunday is Father’s Day, so I think we should go out to see a movie.”

AD: “Since it’s Father’s Day, I get to pick the movie, right?”

KatyBeth (smiling winningly):Of course! As long as it’s not a scary movie. Or loud. And it has to be a cartoon. Or we could go see Hannah Montana again.”

AD (sighing): “You really want to go see Up, don’t you!”

KatyBeth: “That’s perfect, Daddy! Good choice!”

And no doubt, afterward, she will treat me to the dinner of my choice. As long as it’s pizza. Or some place that serves chicken nuggets. And I get to pay for it.

Still, oughta be a good Father’s Day.

    As long as someone is calling you 'Dad' or 'Daddy', there is no such thing as a 'bad' Father's Day.

    Have fun at the movie.

    Me? I am having lunch brought to me at work.

    UP is a really good movie but be warned that it is sad and there might be some explaining to do afterwords.

    As I explain to people about parenting, RM, Jr. raised me well. It seems that KatyBeth is doing a good job of raising you.

    Who are you trying to kid. You love every second of it, and with good reason.

    The word verification is "clown", which is totally apropos for the subject and the author.

    You think you're wrapped now, just wait until you're a Grampa! I'm not sure what I did to deserve my Granddaughter, but I'm glad I did! Kids are great! Especially when they call you PawPaw Man…
