People always tell me that I will make a great dad. I always questioned those people's judgment as I am opinionated and hate, pretty much, everything.
Today, I left the job site because I needed some lunch, a broom and a rake. So I went to Fred Meyer because we all know it's your on stop shopping place. I had my trailer hooked to my truck so I parked kinda of far out in the parking lot away from the store. I have to do that so I can pull through and use two spots for my truck and my trailer. Anyway, I was walking across the parking lot and without even thinking, I put both my arms out straight and started alternating them back and forth while making airplane sound. A girl passing me gave me a funny look and I stopped. Not because I cared what she thought. To quote Adam Carolla, "there are two things people really need to know about me: I don't care and I don't care." But that lady's funny look made me realize I was actually doing that.
And then I cracked a little smile because I realized at that moment that those people are right. I'm going to make a pretty awesome dad. All my pessimism and negativity doesn't matter because I'm fun and I have the mind of a child so at least when the kid is little I'll be a good dad. They'll still hate me when they're a teenager, but what teenager doesn't hate their parent. I can live with that. My hatred of all things 'idiot' will still be there, but I think it will be overpowered by my imaginative nature. We'll see.
