“Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope.”

I love them more than all the stars

The kids and I are crazy about Rockford. I am notoriously bad at Occasions, though, so the poor guy rarely gets an adequate amount of celebration. I still haven’t gotten him a Father’s Day gift or a card, but I did print off a Fathers Day survey for the kids to fill out for Rockford. (Thanks for the link, Jeni!) Their responses:

Poppy

  • My daddy’s name is [full name, including obscure and hard-to-pronouce first name].
  • He is 32 years old, 32 feet tall and weighs 55 pounds.
  • His favorite food is tacos.
  • My daddy is really good at mowing the lawn.
  • He loves to have Daddy & Poppy time.
  • My favorite things to do with my daddy are play Candyland and be with him.
  • I’m just like my dad because I love him.
  • What I love most about my daddy is he loves me back.
  • It makes Dad happy when I obey.
  • Pete

  • My daddy’s name is Uncle Rockford.
  • He is 10 or 1 years old, 5t tall and weighs very much pounds.
  • His favorite food is flakes that Mommy likes.
  • My daddy is really good at his favorite new video game.
  • He loves to play some of LarryBoy with me.
  • My favorite thing to do with my daddy is play with his favorite games called LarryBoy.
  • I’m just like my dad because I am three. That’s why I’m bigger.
  • What I love most about my daddy is playing some more video games.
  • It makes Dad happy when I play Phineas & Ferb on the Wii.
  • Our friend Addy filled out the survey, too. She said her dad’s name starts with “Uncle,” too, and that he’s good at “getting stuff to eat in the morning.”

    The title quote is from The Cos, of course.
