My
dad is really funny
because he acts as if he is only four or five sometimes. My dad
plays outside - he gets dirtier more than I do, my mother always
says. My dad takes me to school and he forgets that he doesn't
have his shoes on his feet. He's a real character because he calls
my mom Mommy all the time. My dad cooks the family a surprise
meal at the park and forgets to bring the plates and forks. He
tries to walk softly into the house at night after a hard day
at work. But he makes so much noise that he has the whole house
up. My dad is a charmer - he makes sure that he has a special
surprise for me and my mom. Now last of all my dad goes to take
a shower and comes out with toothpaste on his face and the Ajax
all over his pajamas. My dad can't get mad at me because he starts
laughing when he is supposed to be showing me that he is mad at
what I have said or done. My dad is really a crazy and funny guy
at all times. Everyday of my life is a adventure because I have
the best dad a person can have. – Markita, 7, Illinois
