I was running errands on Saturday with Hazel. Just yesterday she was sitting in a booster chair in the backseat listening to Elmo. This weekend she called out her dad.
“Dad? Dad? Dad! What were you looking at Dad?”
As a father I always want to set a good example. I always use…. “The truth is faster,” so I wanted to live by example.
“Dad! What were you looking at that was so interesting?”
“Hazel….. I was looking at that lady walking the German Shepherd and I noticed that she had a very nice rearend.”
The next thing that happened caught me off guard. What was about to happen made me realize that Elmo is dead and there isn’t a pile of Cheerios strewn around the backseat.
Wait for it, wait for it! I don’t know how this happened….
“My own father is an ass man? How disgusting.” Came out of my baby girls mouth with a stern brow on her face.
I thought I was driving with my mom in the car, but my mom would have never called me out for being an assman.
“I learned it on YouTube.”
YouTube is no longer on my phone, her tablet or my television. YouTube is worse than this TicToc app in my book.
“Yeah Dad, I saw the sign on your desk that said “AssMan” that looked like a license plate on a car, so I looked it up.”
“It’s from an old fashion show called Steinfeld.”
I guess learning how to barbecue ribs wasn’t the only thing that I taught Hazel this weekend.
Hazel knows how to properly rub and smoke a slab of ribs and she knows her Oldman likes butts.
Solid campaign this weekend on the Father Front…..
Let’s have a fantastic Race week as we prepare to pile up Memorial Day Weekend with love and laughter.
