(During a bath.) “I have to run into the bedroom for a minute. Keep talking so I&#8217;ll know you haven&#8217;t drowned.” 
“If you ever date someone who drives an Escalade, I&#8217;ll disown you.”

“I have a blister on my heel but I want to wear my freakishly tight shoes anyway.”





Dress Smart. Act Smart.




I wish I could say it was my wisdom, my innate daddy brilliance that led me to refuse this issue. I would boast that I’m one of those enviable laid-back parents who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I used to get an adrenaline kick when a kid in my charge would invoke certain phrases &#8212; &#8220;I hit my head&#8221; or &#8220;it&#8217;s bleeding&#8221; or &#8220;I can see bone sticking out,&#8221; that sort of thing. After ten years of teaching and mentoring and babysitting, I thought I&#8217;d drummed out that panic response completely.

Somewhere along the yellow brick road, she found an orphaned tire from a toy car and a gnarly old twig, so naturally she tried to assemble [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Boo has now fallen asleep by herself for 9 days running, and her prize was face paints. My barely-credible puppy:





OK, to my rescue, the set had no black.




And now, of course, I have decided I must become a face painting expert. (Any tips?) 
Boo has the same resolution for herself:





I&#8217;m a dolphin.

Unprompted, Boo shouts, &#8220;Look, two deer!&#8221;
It takes me a while to catch on, but eventually I see them. &#8220;Nice observation, Boo!&#8221; I encourage, pridefully.
&#8220;Daddy! I&#8217;m not Boo!&#8221; she protests.
A pause.

I&#8217;m desperately thankful to anyone who reads this mess, comments, e-mails, chuckles, nods appreciatively, Twitters, or publishes articles about me in Wikipedia. You rock.
And, of course, I&#8217;m pretty thankful for, among others too numerous to mention, these:

She weighs 7 pounds 10 ounces &#8212; nearly two pounds less than Boo did at birth &#8212; and scored the highest possible Apgar for babies of non-doctors: a 9.
