There once was a West Texas Boy, a single, un-married and un-attached boy. The poor thing, without mother or girlfriend nearby, soon began to look like this:
Yes, he looked like that! Sad isn’t it? Well, this un-married and un-attached Boy met a girl woman — a classy, put-together, working woman. They soon got married, because, despite the looks of this picture, the Boy was really a very sweet and wonderful boy who had the makings of being a sweet and wonderful Man.
But, he stayed a Boy a little while longer, because that’s what most boys do when they’re Newlyweds:
Then, something changed. The Married Boy became a Little Lady’s Daddy:
And, over the next year, the classy, put-together, working woman (the Mommy, by the way) watched the Boy become a sweet and wonderful Man.
After being a Daddy for 14 months, the Mommy realized that her Boy-turned-Man was the perfect Daddy for their Little Lady. How did the Mommy recognize this? She watched him, during the course of one ordinary August day. And during that day, she saw him do little, ordinary, every-day things for his Little Lady
He let the Little Lady sweet talk him out of his sweet tea & he didn’t complain about sharing.
Instead of sleeping on the couch or watching internationally televised sporting events, he let the Little Lady (and her Mommy) talk him into setting up a splash pool:
During her splash pool time, when the Little Lady was frightened by the water splashing in her face, the Daddy came to the rescue:
Yes, he came to the rescue and got in the splash pool — just so he could could dance & be silly with his Little Lady.
Why was this Boy-turned Man-turned Daddy willing to do all of these silly things?
Because, ultimately, more than food, sports, and being silly, the Daddy loved this smile:
And . . .this smile:
And, that’s the story of how one Mommy realized her Little Lady had the Perfect Daddy.
