Life Dads with young daughters... - Page 4

htismaqe · 02-01-2013, 11:52 AM

My 9-year old is obsessed with Taylor Swift. It's my fault, I have encouraged her to play the guitar (yes, she's the one I started the thread about a while back).

Last year, I took my oldest daughter to a Chiefs game for her birthday. I spent around $250 for 3 tickets.

It was my time to make it right, so I spent an almost IDENTICAL amount per ticket as I spent on the game and bought 3 tickets to Taylor Swift in concert.

I am almost certain that I will have to go. ABSOLUTELY not my type of music.

But I can't wait to tell her!

That's why you have to start now. It's going to take a while to find any that you can stomach.

I can picture her as a 2x4 on her back.

Luckily my girls are all young enough that they like the Disney Princess movies. I can handle watching those.

**** those Barbie movies though. Jesus Christ.

I told my wife "Knocked Up" or "Zack and Miri" is as far as I can go with chick flicks.

I have never had that particular misfortune.

You can go old school. We just watched Casablanca last week. It has a love story in it. It counts.

The Iron Giant

best kids movie ever

I remember telling her that Rambo should count because it's a love story. He loved his country.

I had to take my 2 year old daughter to her first concert, The Wiggles. We actually had a blast! We had good seats so I was able to take her up to the front (mosh pit) so she could dance with a handful of other kids. A bunch of kids and moms then me. One of the Wiggles actually gave me the thumbs up when he noticed I was the only dad up there.
I already bought her a mini drum kit and she plays along to Turbonegro. Hopefully there will be no Taylor Swift concerts in the near future.

Man I have been to some shitty concerts, all for my kids behalf.
Some were actually fun though.
And with age comes taste. Baby steps...Baby steps

Knocked Up counts, by the way.
