Happy Fathers’ Day! To think - after 14 years of marriage, I’ve finally been civilized into the ranks of the “suburban dad”. Civilization hasn’t been easy for me. I think today I’ll just pour a nice glass of Bordeaux, make a mushroom quiche and watch this lovely French video with my daughter.
We’ve been working on strength by doing windsprints in the water and invincibility with the Superman suit. I think the perfect antidote to the “soccer mom” is the “rugby dad”. ”Tim – the rugby dad,” I like the sound of that. Now I just need to convince my wife to move to New Zealand where she can get some proper rugby training and return to sleepy suburbia a Haka Fighting Machine. Isn’t that what fatherhood’s all about: High hopes for your children?
Happy Father’s Day to the best daddy a little girl could ever wish for.
