Today is my Dad’s birthday. Happy Birthday Dad!
The best thing about having kids when you’re young (my Dad was 20 when he had me) is that nobody believes you when you tell them your age. Just this morning someone said to me, "Oh my god. Your dad is SO YOUNG!"
In fact, our kids feel it is their bragging right to tell their friends that their parents are as old as their grandparents (because as young as my parents are, Jody’s mom is even younger!) It usually sounds something like, "Holy Crap! Your dad is almost the same age as MY GRANDPA!"
Nice,huh? And then the friend never quite feels the same again about her Grandpa-Dad. Just leave it to my kids to make you feel oh-so-inadequate.
Dad, have a super birthday today. I love you!
