How old is Daddy?

26 (even D thinks that 37 is Ooooold!)

What do you like to do with your Daddy?

Play with him – play with Legos

Where does your Daddy work?

At home – he makes phone calls and works on the computer

What is special about your Daddy?

He sits with me (what would be during scary movies, i’m guessing)

Does your Daddy have a special name for you?

Goofball (?Where did that come from?!? I don’t think i’ve ever said that word before – maybe he heard another kid saying it – I want a re-count!)

How strong is your Daddy?

He is Super Strong! (let the kid have his illusions – see the bit about working on the computer above…)

I love my Daddy becuase…

He watches my shows with me (I guess I should stop taking him to Disneyland then? *humph* )

Do you know how I can fast forward my dreams? I just blink and open and close my eyes and I can fast forwards past the scary parts!

Wow – that’s cool – i’ve had lots of nightmare’s i’d have loved to be able to fast-forward thru, but using my ‘betamax’ version of FF I would have missed the good dreams too – good thing he’s got TiVo on his Dreams
