The abilities of SUPER DAD!
Hi All.
We’re still waiting.
Gem claims that I’ve gone a bit mental which probably explains why I’m writing this post.
In my experience there seems to be some abilities that all Dads seem to have nearly with out fail. Things like knowing about cars, how to read a map, put up shelves, know the ins and outs of money and so on.
I’ve come up with this theory.
Every night in every hospital where a new baby has just come along. While mum and baby sleep there’s like an antenatal class but only for Dads which teach the “Wisdom Of The Ancients”.
I Figure the lesson plan goes:
1. How to do basic car maintenance, including how to charge the battery, how to pump up and change a tyre and how to spot if a mechanic is about to rip you off.
2. How to put up shelves and do other jobs around the house.
3. How to not look lost when you’ve not got a clue where you are.
4. how to get from downstairs to upstairs with out making a sound to check on children in bed.
5. The ability to enjoy watching golf, (that has to be a super power because nothing on this earth could ever get me to do it unforced.).
6. How to do that special Dads dance.
7. To be able to embarrass offspring with out even trying.
I think that’s as far as Super Dad would get as at that point his I-Phone would ring with the Super Dad ring tone calling him to another hospital.
I can’t wait to meet Super Dad, I reckon he’d not fly but would turn up in a suped up people carrier and rather than where a costume like Superman he’d have a bright shirt, faded genes with huge turn ups and socks and sandals. In a really bad turn of events he should also be wearing grey y-fronts over his genes.
Do you think I missed anything from the lesson plan or my description of what I think Super Dad would look like? Any ideas in the comments.
Time for Bed.
Take care all,
And Up, Up, Up, Back (we forgot the dummies,) up and away,
Nick.
