Before leaving the house and walking to the park for the field days I had Lily wash the mascara off her eyes. After all these years together I was stunned that she actually thought that she could get that past me. Then there was the Daisy Duke hot shorts issue. Roll them down so that it doesn't look like you are wearing bikini bottoms or put sweats pants on. Two easy choices. Both of which triggered eye rolling, grunting and deep loathsome sighs.

Someone recently told me 11 is the new 14. I get it now.
Let the games begin.

  2. As a father of two girls (10 and 8) I know only that I can't begin to imagine the challenges that are coming our way. Still, I wouldn't trade my girls for boys any day of the week. No, no, no. I knew from the moment they were born that this was what I had always wanted and what I needed.

    Let the games begin. I like the sound of that. You're a gamer, you've got what it takes to play at the varsity level. Suit up and stay in there. My guess is that you're going to be just fine.
