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.
