I get it now Dad - Real Mum story on MoM

9 Comments

We were sitting around the dinner table as a family, enjoying a roast dinner this fathers day when there was a lull in conversation, to which Master 10 piped up and announced to his dad “I get it now Dad, now that I am older, I understand why you always used to say no even if I cried and threw tantrums and was sad, I know why you wouldn’t give me the toy, or whatever it was I wanted, or why you wouldn’t let me stay up late even if I really wanted to” .. I was not sure what was going to follow that statement so to hear master 10s next words “It was to teach me how to be a good dad when I get bi like you ” was something of a relief, and rather touching A nice touch to fathers day
