It was donuts and flowers....

Max and I went for donuts and flowers and I talked to him about the time when he was 8 he told me how in his words, "you earn a woman."

He didn't remember. That made me a little sad. So I took it upon myself to remind him. I used detail and I brought him back and he brought the words out again. He won't remember amazing things he did as a child. It's one of my jobs to remember them and give them back to him just as he gave them to me. It's a parents responsibility to share with the kids just how amazing they are and were and will be. No excuses people.

He asked me if I had told anybody that story. I uh...well see... I put it on the internet.

He slapped my back (he's big now) and shook his head and said, "Daddy!"
