What my kids think about me
Wednesday of this week was Father’s Day here in Italy. And my kids made little cards and wrote me a letter. Here’s what they said:
Dear Dad:
Here are a few little things about you that I will always remember.
When we watch a movie together, three seconds after the film starts you forget all about it and fall asleep. When we go to the Auchan or Obi, when we leave you always ask if we can go to McDonalds. Every Sunday you make breakfast. And you play on your computer. And you help me with my homework. And we play Xbox together. Sometimes you and I go shopping. You are the dad that all of the kids would like to have!
You’re the best dad in the world!
I love you very much!
Chloe
Dear Dad,
I like it when you go outside and go hiking and sometimes you take me with you. And also when we play together.
Or when it’s Sunday and you make pancakes or the best french toast in the whole world.
It makes me laugh when you wake up early in the morning, and you’re so tired that you seem mad.
I also like it when you take me to the cheap seats and we watch Ancona soccer games.
You really are a great dad.
I love you very much.
Lance
Naturally, this was all in Italian. But no matter what the language, it really made my day.
Aww … shucks …

Sigh of relief. I thought I had missed father’s day. Glad it was good one for you.

I like the part about the cheap seats.
