suave_thomasDear God my children are the most amazing people on his planet.
James came up to me today and he told me there was something he wanted me to see. He took my hand and he took me outside to our backyard and when I asked him what he wanted me to look at, he pointed at our garden. I said yes, it was growing nicely. And he said, "no, Daddy. You taught me how to give life. And look, it's right in front of you."
And then I think I may have squeezed the life out of him, but what an amazing boy. Being a father is the best thing in the entire world.
And then I visited Spectre in the shower, which has nothing to do with the rest of this, but he has nice hips.

Date: 2009-07-07 01:07 pm (UTC)Haha, he could well do! Though I find it hard to imagine James using his prowess to mock anyone, bless him.
