As a kid, Mom made sure I was clean, had my hair combed, face washed, teeth brushed, and was dressed for school. I don’t remember my Dad taking on that responsibility even once — and I can’t even IMAGINE what I would’ve looked like if he had. My best guess is that I would’ve been lucky to have 2 shoes that matched as I trudged out to catch the bus.
I don’t say it often enough, but I sure am proud of my son for the way he takes care of my granddaughter. Now, if he could just teach her how to smile naturally and not throw that ‘fake’ one out there for photos. 🙂
