Dear Holly: Daddy is the Easter Bunny?

9 years, 11 months.

Dear Holly,

If there ever was a time for you to consider whether the Easter Bunny might actually be me, the answer was definitely confirmed this year.

When a friend found out I was taking you to our church’s egg hunt this past Saturday, she insisted I borrow the Easter Bunny costume she just happened to own.

So… I did. I just showed up unannounced as the Easter Bunny. And not once single person questioned it.

I played the part and everyone assummed it was part of the plan all along.

As multiple kids started coming up to ask to get their picture taken with me (and their family), as well as showing me their prizes they were winning from the games at the event, I realized, “Oh… I really am the Easter Bunny.”

I guess this means I need to invest in my own bunny costume now.

Love,

Daddy

Dear Jack: Potty on the Porch

15 years, 4 months.

Dear Jack,

After being out all day, we came home to see a toilet sitting on our front porch. No, I was not one bit curious as to why:

Obviously, it had something to do with your friends putting it there.

So Mommy had you recruit a friend to help you return it to wherever it mysteriously came from.

I still really don’t know the story of the potty on our porch. Oh well.

Love,

Daddy

Dear Holly: Getting a Pedicure with Mommy

9 years, 11 months.

Dear Holly,

There are certain things you will only learn from me, as your dad. However, the importance of getting a pedicure is not one of them.

That’s Mommy’s job. Last Saturday morning, the two of you enjoyed getting your pedicures, side by side.

Mommy offered to let me get one too, but… I was happy just to be the driver.

Love,

Daddy

Dear Jack: Supercross in Birmingham

15 years, 4 months.

Dear Jack,

Since you got your electric dirtbike this past Christmas, you have really gotten into anything related to dirtbikes.

So obviously, we as a family ended up going to Birmingham to see the Supercross event this past Friday night.

You loved every minute of it.

And now that I think about it, I took you to one of these events in Nashville nine years ago.

It’s so interesting to see how certain interests have stuck with you throughout the years.

Love,

Daddy

Dear Holly: You Actually Liked Supercross

9 years, 11 years. 

Dear Holly,

It never crossed my mind that you would actually enjoy going to the Supercross off-road motorcyle race our family went to last weekend in Birmingham.

I assumed it was just you having to go along with it because your brother is so into it. But to my surprise, you specifically told Mommy and I that you liked being there.

So I guess that helps, knowing our family will start going to Supercross more regularly moving forward.

Love,

Daddy
