"Daughters Don't Give You Choices."

Thank you, Daymare [Cassie's padre/my co-padre] for so aptly stating the truth. Daughters really don't give their fathers choices, I believe. I mean, I don't boss my father around, but it's pretty common knowledge that a lot of girls know exactly how to melt their fathers...

Little girls are the best examples. I've met very few young girls who weren't bossy to some degree [I know I was definitely a boss], and with their dads it's another whole level. And shockingly enough, even the most "manly" and "tough" fathers cave when their daughters ask them for something.

I'm not entirely sure why this is. Perhaps it's because they see something of their wives in their daughters. Or maybe men just naturally have a soft spot for little girls; I've seen even boys my age talk kindly with small girls, and it damn near shocks me every time.

Or it could be the way "Daddy" slips out at just the right moments...
