Oh…It must have sprayed onto me when…
You can tell me. I promise I won’t tell anyone. Cross my heart. Hope to die. Oh, don’t worry I won’t really die. It’s just how Jamie and I make promises. So we know for sure.

Yes, there are some good dads that don’t get much credit. One of the highlights of my hubby’s evenings was tucking his youngest daughter to bed and reading a story to her. It would be wonderful if it was always like that. Great writing … 😎
