Sometimes I have to laugh inside because of the many joys my daughters bring to my life. I see them growing up right before my eyes and I enjoy every moment of it. I am very aware of each year that passes by and it is constantly getting better. I mean the girls are 7 and 8.5 now and can clean the house really well, cook a variety of foods and read and speak Spanish really well!
I listen to them argue and fuss with each other and then turn around and laugh as if nothing ever happened. I guess when you are kids you don't know the art of holding on to a grudge for several days. I hear them learning to Joan on each other like I do with the skill of a veteran. One day my 8 year old came home crying because a boy told her that her teeth were crooked. I recall sitting down with her and sharing a piece of pound cake and telling her to learn to use her mouth. I said "next time say that it is true that some of your teeth are crooked and you will be getting braces to fix that but his ugliness will last on him forever". She laughed and came back home the next day saying how the whole class was laughing with her this time and she said I was the best Dad in the whole world! I know that statement is not true, but for the moment I think she really felt that way.
My 7 year old has my creative style of scamology. I think I better pay extra attention to her because she has learned very well. I choose not to get deep on that subject on the grounds that may incriminate ME!!!
Anyway, I love them because they are me of the past in the future, yet to come. They remind me to not take life so serious and to always remember that little people have feelings too but they just want to get along with everybody. Thanks for the life lessons girls. In case I never tell U again, Daddy loves you mucho mucho!
I be Ward
