Um, Daddy?

"How many times have I heard this? Um, Daddy, you're probably gonna say no.."

Happy Father's Day!

I told my dad last night that I wanted to learn a song on guitar (I haven't attempted to learn guitar in years and years, since we took a class together at church. He can play every musical instrument known to man). He helped me tune the guitar (okay, he tuned it) and today he found a book and binder from when he was teaching himself guitar, probably knowing that I won't read them as I should but wanting to help.

My dad only has daughters, and this quote perfectly describes our relationship to him. (Well, mine more, as I am his favorite daughter.. Self-proclaimed but never corrected!)

The father of a daughter is nothing but a high-class hostage. A father turns a stony face to his sons, berates them, shakes his antlers, paws the ground, snorts, runs them off into the underbrush, but when his daughter puts her arm over his shoulder and says, 'Daddy, I need to ask you something,' he is a pat of butter in a hot frying pan. - Garrison Keillor
