I Love My Daddy Because… by Laurel Porter-Gaylord
My rating: 5/5 cats
this is just a silly little kid’s book, but it’s one my dad mailed to me recently, as an “i’m thinking of you” present during my difficult times. although, now that i sit down and muse on it, this seems more like a bald* cry for attention than a sweet gift, right? a passive-aggressive reminder to appreciate him? but when i first opened the package, before i recognized it for the shameless reminder to ‘honor thy father’ it so clearly is**, i must admit i got a little choked up with how much i love my thoughtful daddy.
it was the first page that ruined me, because that dude actually looks like my daddy did when i was a little’un. i was way cuter than that kid, though. she’s average at best.
after that it was all about animal daddies, none of which resembled mine in the least.
but it’s a really sweet and cute book, and a perfect opportunity for me to tell my dad how awesome he is, and i bet he could totally build a house.
so thank you for thinking of me, daddy, and i will always appreciate the things you do for me. especially the yummy things
feel free to hop on a plane and make me some steaks. i’m free this evening.
* no pun intended, daddy! you know how i feel about puns!
** i’m just keeeeeeeding, of course
