donuts with dads

last thursday, liam's preschool class invited all the dads to come to school for donuts.  turns out chris was in for a real treat: not only donuts, but orange juice!  and a painted paperweight!  and a cool necktie made out of construction paper!  and -- best of all -- some musings about him, 5-year old style.

below is what liam wrote about his daddy.  some parts are surprisingly accurate.  some, not so much.

ABOUT MY DAD, BY LIAM

My daddy’s name is Chris. He is 35 years old, weighs “somewhere in the 150-170s” pounds and is 5 feet tall. His hair is blond and his eyes are blue. My dad loves to relax by talking. He likes to wear his work shirt while he is resting. He loves to cook meat and rice and his favorite food is potatoes. My dad’s job is “working on his computer”. His favorite chore is cleaning up the kitchen. His favorite t.v. show is “a little bit of cartoons”. Daddy always tells me “I love you.” It makes him happy when he plays with me. When my dad goes shopping, he loves to buy clothes. If he could go on a trip he would go to the Bahamas and he would take a boat. I really love it when he tells me jokes.

[you learn so much from your kids.  who knew i was married to a clothes horse who loves to clean the kitchen and watch cartoons?   the one thing i was hoping liam could shed some light on is just what it is a senior project manager does all day.  "working on his computer" is exactly what i tell people whenever they ask me.]
