This morning Evelyn looked out the window and noticed that there just isn't much snow on the ground any more. She found the limited snow cover very unsatisfactory. The following conversation took place:
Evelyn: Need more snow Mommy!
Me: Well the snow all is melting.
Evelyn: No, need more!
Me: Well maybe it will snow again soon and there will be more on the ground.
Evelyn: No, it's okay. Daddy get. Daddy get more snow.
And that was that. The answer was simple. Daddy was going to save the day and get more snow. Daddies can do anything after all.
Flash forward to this evening and I picked Evelyn up at my parents' house. I told them about Evelyn's request this morning. As luck would have it, as we walked out to go home flakes were starting to fall. We spent a few minutes looking at the snow falling and Grampy said, "Look Evelyn, Daddy got you more snow!"
By the time Evelyn and I got home the snow was falling just a little quicker and Evelyn was having a good time watching it fall and cover the driveway. As we walked in the door Evelyn looked at me and said, "Good job Daddy! Daddy listen! Daddy a good boy!"
