The little one handed me the Fathers day gift first thing in the morning.
It was a nice card she had made in school before school closed as part of a class activity.
Apparently I am crazy over my work.. She definitely does not like my work as she sees it as something that competes with her for my love.
Understandable considering I am going to be back in Austin soon.
Thought she got used to my travel by now.. looks like deep down she still has some misgivings!
We thought of buying another tree and planting it for Fathers day. Especially since the mothers day Japanese maple tree is not faring very well in the heat. I am the only one that waters the tree and if I forget the tree starves. It has already lost all the leaves in 25% of the branches.
Jr. : What tree should we plant?
Me : something that can be big, give lots of shade and have fruits. Lemon tree?
LO : our lemon tree is more like a bush. but do you know it has 5 lemons on it already? It will not grow big but it can be our only lemon tree.
Me: ok. so we are back the question. What tree?
LO: How about a money tree?
Me : !!!!!
Jr. : The bank is the money tree LO! You can only get money from a bank.
LO: Daddy, you say you invent things. Can't you invent a money tree or something ?
Me : !!!!!! (I have no answer to that one.) I have promised her an answer soon..
