“Daddy’s Home!”
The excitement in Nariah’s voice is awesome as I come home from playing basketball to find her and Toya just finishing up dinner. They are having typical after dinner “girl talk”. Honestly, I expected to hear the usual “Whew.. funky daddy, get that funk away from us” type lingo, but this time, it was different.
“Mommy, can you pack a bag of sugar in my lunch tomorrow?”
“A bag of sugar? What in the world do you need sugar for?”
“For my strawberries, lately they haven’t been very sweet so I need to put some sugar on them!”
I can see her now, sitting in daycare pulling out a bag of sugar at lunch, getting all the kids on a sugar high, and returning home with a note from the director for me to read.
