The way to a dad's heart (via a jar of peanut butter)

[DonnieS]

Got my first letter/email from dd2 away at college - does she know how to wrap dad around her finger or what ?

"Hello Dad, if you could, when you come can you bring a batch of your 'pigs in a blanket', the large jar of jiffy cruncy peanut butter, shampoo and conditioner (mom's knows the kind), a set of plastic microwavable silverware (?) - and all of your love. Please and thank you.

Love K."

Shortly - my son was coaching his first football game as head coach and I had to watch and film for him. This is the little league type of football. Looks like a whole army of ewoks running around and into each other.

I messaged her back and wanted to ask if she wanted a car with that. But I could only get out 'sure'.

Thanks, because of a minor (sarcastically said) timing error, they spent their last week at home - at home. They said, 'Dad, we are too old to be grounded." (they are 21 and 18) I said, 'wanna bet'. Like all of you, I love my children beyond words - but when the hell will they get to the point of not testing me any more. I turned 60 last week - and the stinkers wrote a poem on my birthday card about 'dad said be home at one - we got home at four - ' etc etc. wth. Girls - i need a break for God's sake.

I'd say you got off cheap and realized it. Any stories behind the 'pigs in a blanket' request?

I make pigs in a blanket (venison sausage ) wrapped with bread dough and bread - very healthy bread, wheat bread with sunflower seeds, pumkin seeds and pecans - with 6 eggs - lots of protein, one slice of toast in the morning is a lot (for me anyway).

Other things I send up to the kids at school are venison or wild hog jerkey, but hadnt killed anything in a while - soon though.

It's funny how nice and sweet they can be when they want something:


DD: "Hi, Daddy" in her sweetest voice

Me " What do you want?"

DD "I just wanted to say HI"

Me "and................?"

DD " Can you transfer some money to my account?"

Me "Of course" -that's why she calls me instead of the DW!!!!!!!!

She made a lot of $$$ this summer working/intership- I hope she still calls

No kidding. What I need is to have my little video camera on when I get the "Hi, Daddy, i love you" routine and then catch her on the "omg, " and roll the eyes routine. Then post both of them up somewhere big - heck maybe a billboard outside of the campus.
