Ever had one of those days? Yeah, I know you have. I was too until one of my children said something that made me forget it all!
Sometime ago, I was having a bad day – things not going right; work in the toilet and so was everything at home.
My kids were sick and I need to get them to the doctor – I got an appointment for that afternoon. Since I am a at-home Dad and freelancer, I get to do everything from home…well usually.
Having sick children, getting sick myself and having issues on the work front was drawing on me.
I was ready to lose it! Then it happened….
I was walking past my 5-year-old and she said this to me:
“Daddy, you stink! You need a shower before we go to the doctor!”
I laughed so hard, I thought I was going to bust a gut. All the bad things that happened that day had disappeared with that comment.
A few things that came out of this:
1. Kids say the darndest things and they always bring a smile to your face. No matter what is happening, they can make your day all smiles.
2. Yes, I did need a shower and I got one before we went to the doctor.
