So tonight we had another fun phone call. You called me a little early, on your way home from your last cheerleading practice before your first competition on Saturday, in Ft. Walton Beach.
When you got home, you were in your room and we were laughing about our ongoing, “I’m in your head!” conversation, where I imply I always know what you are thinking. It’s fun, because a lot of times I CAN guess what you are thinking! I am pretty good at it, because of a couple reasons. First, I listen to you, very closely and carefully, because I love you so much. So even though I’m hours away from you for weeks at a time, I want to know everything about your life, so I can be the best dad I can be. Secondly, you are very open and honest with me, and you share your whole life with me. So when there’s so much love, honesty and trust there, it makes it easier to know what the other person is thinking, and to know when they are happy, and and also when they are upset.
So you started by asking, “How many fingers am I holding up?” I said, “Two.” You said, “NOPE! Three!” You were happy that for once, I got it wrong. You asked again, “How many?” “Four” (Got it!) And again, “How many?” and I thought, “She’s either going to go one or five.” So I said, “One.” You said, “Nope! Six!” So REALLY, I was pretty close, because you held up both five and one. 🙂
You then asked, “OK, what am I thinking about?” I quickly said, “Ice Cream.” (NAILED IT!) You growled, “MMmmm!” in fake anger, because I got it right. You said, “OK, how about now?” I said, “Legos.” (TWO FOR TWO!) You growled again, “Aaaaagh! YES!”
We laughed and had to wrap up the phone call. So I told you that I am able to guess what you are thinking because I listen to you all the time, very closely, and that I love you so much.
