Rachel: Hi Daddy!
Dad: Hi Honey. What’s up?
Rachel: Daddy, I scored an 88 on a brutal Managerial Accounting Test!
Dad: Wow, that’s amazing Rachel. Well done! I’m proud of you.
Rachel: OK Daddy. Just wanted to let you know. Gotta run.
Self: “Daddy.”
45 second phone conversation with daughter on car ride home from work. Priceless.

LOL – brief but sweet! 😀 Gone are the days that they linger and talk to us for hours on end. I’m still in that stage where my kids fight for my attention as they share their day with us.

It’s different with sons, but I got a similar call from my oldest son the other day: “Dad, I got the promotion”. Of course you did, son — the world is only beginning to know what I knew all along… 😀
