Day 247 : I Know What Boys Like...

Sadie -

I asked your mom tonight if she thought it was weird that I already find myself often worrying about how boys will treat you when you are a teenager. She told me, "NOT AT ALL!"

I have become the stereotypical dad that frets about you dating and falling in with the wrong kind of boys and says "I know what boys think - I used to be one!"

I hold you when we are playing and look at you smiling at me and worry that one day you'll slam the door in my face and tell me you hate me and that I don't understand you and that whatever boy you like that I won't let you go out with is "a good guy."

Even then I'll probably just say, "I know what boys think - I used to be one!"

- Dad
