I feel pretty good about myself in the role of fun dad, but now that my kids are older, maybe I’m a bit out of my league.  As I was driving them to school one morning, they were both very tired.  I kept the radio at a low volume…until Another Brick In The Wall came on.  I thought this would be the perfect drive-to-school anthem to wake them up.  After a few bars of my wonderful singing, my son said that he couldn’t handle it anymore.  So, I turned the radio down and asked him if the music was too loud.  He said, “No. The music is fine.  I can’t handle YOU!”  #MissionAccomplished

A few days later, I was saying goodnight to my daughter and asked her where her telephone was because I didn’t want her to fall asleep with it in her bed. She just looked at me and said, “Telephone?  It’s a phone, dad.”  I guess I’d never thought about that.   When did I outgrow my hipness?  Maybe I never was hip.  That reminds me, my hip hurts and I have to do my stretches.  #HowMayIDirectYourCall
