Who's Your Daddy?

My Gray is Growing
It was Saturday, 11/4/2006, a very busy day was planned. Zoe had ballet and Kim was getting her teeth cleaned. I had work that day so when I woke up in the morning it was straight to getting ready for the day. I am required to wear a step above business casual at TWC where I sell shoes. So I take Zoe to her ballet class and while I am starting to read my new book by Max Brooks. "The Zombie Survival Guide" (check it out) and I swear people are loud on purpose. But this guy has this pager thing and it is making this god awful buzz, ring, bling sound. Any normal person when they heard that would grab the pager and see who it was. Well not this guy. It goes off for a good twenty minutes. Try reading with that going on. Well at the same time this little kid is playing with the door to the building. Guess what is going off when the door is opened and closed another bell. Well when the mother finally gets on her kid to sit down and tells her kid that they were making an annoying bell go off well that is when the guy grabs his pager. Thank god he gets it. Well five minutes later it goes off again.

It's things like this that make my hair gray.

Daddy Duties...
After Zoes ballet I take her over to see Kim while she is getting her teeth cleaned. Of course she isn't done yet so I asked to go back and see her. (This is the coolest dentist office ever) So the front desk shows me to the back were Kim is sitting in her nice chair looking out the huge window. Zoe and I sit down and wait to see how long it will take due to I have to go to work soon. While I am sitting there the dentist comes in and this is one that I have never met before. She is a younger woman that looks new to her profession so I say hello when our eyes make contact.

Daws122: Hello
Dentist: Hello, how are you?
Daws122: Good and you?
Dentist: Great! So your daughter is getting her teeth cleaned?
Daws122: Ahh? Daughter?
Dentist: Ahh? Yeah, Kimberly is your daughter right?
Daws122: Hmmm... No she is my wife.
Dentist: OMG, I am so sorry!
Daws122: Wow, do I look that old?

Well now it is official I am an old man. When your own wife is mistaken for your daughter you know that father time has slapped you in the face. I think I can actually feel the gray growing now.

Baby Names that we are considering: Amy, Elly, Izzy.
