Only after stepping on a lego in the middle of the night and ignoring the pain in order not to wake up the little princess I was carrying to bed did I realize that I was really a dad and not just a father.

When I went downstairs to use the internet I found my father passed out drunk in front of the computer, so I blogged over top of him.

I wonder what else I don't know
When I told my dad I'd misplaced my class ring, he told me his was lost 30 years ago when "a girl died in a car accident."

His best record was that he went fifteen minutes before asking me what my grades were when I got home from boarding school.

lost a tooth
That night I fell out of bed and smacked my nose on the metal bedframe, and the next morning my dad joked that the toothfairy pushed me.

I thought it was pretty cool when my dad told me he had joined a band, until he informed me that he would be playing the spoons and the triangle.

never the same
I watched her tiny tummy sucking in, her skin pulling tight against her ribs, her hand involuntarily closing on my index finger as she struggled for every breath, and I thought, "One day, is one day too much to ask?"

I have a clock in my living room that my dad loved and it stopped on the day he died at the exact time of his death.

In order to feel as if he had some sort of control over his cancer, my father would search the streets for a dollar in change before each chemo session.

Standing next to my dad this Christmas, I realized for the first time that he's reached the age at which people begin to get shorter.

My dad died six years ago and I'm starting forget what he was like because it hurts too much for me to think about him.

My very married, sixty-year-old father obviously doesn't know that you can search by e-mail address on Myspace since he has a page that says he's thirty, single, and there for "dating."

Your husband never noticing you've had your hair done is bad enough, but my dad didn't notice when my mum broke her leg and had it in plaster.

The only reason I felt bad when my dad's girlfriend left him was it meant he was coming back to live with us.

My dad once told me, "Don't keep the Preparation H too close to the toothpaste," then, after a moment, I realized that he was serious.
