You Know That You're A Good Parent When...

One of Katy and Ted's Saturday morning rituals is to go and retrieve the newspaper together. Today, when Ted asked Katy if she wanted to join him, she said no. So, Ted headed outside to get the paper from the yard. He was literally at the front door, paper out of the plastic sleeve, perusing the headlines, when he heard Katy yelling, "Daddy! I wanna get the paper! I want to go with you!!"

Quickly, Ted stuffed the paper back into the plastic sleeve, threw the paper back out into the yard and said, "Okay, Katy- let's go get the paper together!" as if nothing had happened.

Oh, the things we do as parents! In Ted's own words, "I wonder what things like that my own parents did for me when I was little."
