I did the fatherly thing


I did the fatherly thing today...and took Katie to her school's Christmas fair.

I never cease to be amazed at how children can be excited by even the smallest things!

Just seeing her schoolfriends made her screech!
Just winning a 'naff' cuddly toy made her jump up and down!
Just having her face painted with an angel made her 'glow' all day long!

At what point did we lose the excitement and utter joy in life we had as six year olds?

Why shouldn't you have more fun?

Why shouldn't you get excited about getting a question right on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire"?
Why shouldn't you jump up and down when you beat your kids at snap?
Why shouldn't you dance like an idiot to all those Christmas songs?

Well...what's stopping you?

The fear of looking stupid, I bet!

Who cares! So you may look stupid to them - but you're the one who is having all the fun, aren't you?

Come on! Life's too short not to be stupid once in a while!

Try iy - you might find that you enjoy it more than you think! lol
