I once took my daughter to an American Girl store....stood with her as she pretty much looked at everything they sold for almost every doll they make.

Now....we talk about music (we share the same musical interests), baseball (Lord help her she is a Yank-me fan) and peruse Listverse together. And occasionally she will whisper...."Dad, you are such a dork"...and smile

Not to hijack this thread, but for those guys whose daughters are all grown and moved away....do you occasionally get out the old albums and look at the pictures just to smile at the memories?

I was just marveling the other day that mine don't remember the big shit we did. Sure, their memory is jogged by the pictures of Disneyworld and other expensive vacations. They remember little crap like when their sleeping bags got soaked in a downpour while camping or jamming to ridiculous songs like Chumbawumba on the radio.

Yep. They remember the most minor, mundane details.

Take her to the concert and be happy and pretend you like it. She'll never forget it and you'll get a big hug for your efforts.

Exactly....they talk about the big things when we do, but their best memories are dancing on their daddie's toes to their favorite song, being curled up on a cold winter night watching movies, their favorite night trick or treating when Dad dressed up with them and Father/Daughter dances.

Sometimes we have to take time to look at our child's life thru their eyes to fully comprehend how important we are to them. And rarely do we appreciate it on the level they do

My 8 year old daughter is hooked on the NOW THATS WHAT I CALL MUSIC! cds. And none of it is music. So it's funny they call them that.

My 6 year old son likes ...And Justice For All, so we have a bit more in common.

okoye35chiefs · 02-01-2013, 01:26 PM

I have two daughters and have done the concerts and disney on ice and blah blah blah..

Hootie · 02-01-2013, 01:28 PM

I love T Swift. THE MAQ, I'll go instead.

My most recent ex and I had a weird embrace at our favorite bar where we were joking around and then OF COURSE that song comes on and we had a nice laugh.

I LOVE HER

T SWIFT, AVRIL, LISA LOEB, CELINE DION, ALANIS MORISSETTE, JEWEL, NELLY FURTADO

NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL MUSIC!

I took some illicit substances of the quite mind altering kind when I was a senior in high school and then ran into a girl that I was kind of fond of...

She asked me if I wanted to go to a concert and of course, in my state of mind, I thought that would be AWESOME.

I was completely oblivious to reality all the way up until the opening act came out on stage...

It was at that point that the girl said "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you the concert was NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK."
