Who’s Your Daddy?
Dec 12th, 2007
I met up with sister Peggy and the kids last night at La Buca (a good place to take kids in Portland). As I sat down, Jack-Jack greeted me with the question: “Who’s your Daddy?”
It’s actually a fun game I started to play with him in the last few weeks. He’s started to grasp the complexities of family relationships. He is fascinated by hearing how he is connected to moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas, and, of course, aunts and uncles. He’s starting to get the hang of it.
I threw the question back at him: “Who is my daddy, Jack-Jack?”
“Grandpa Bob,” he says with a grin.
And so the game continues: “Who is my brother?”
“Judy.” Oops.
“Then who is my sister?”
“Uncle Bob.”
It wouldn’t be fun if he knew all the answers cold.
