As far as jobs I go, I think I’ve got a pretty cool one. I get to travel for months on end, write about my experiences and then gad about the place telling people stories about my adventures.
But this morning I got a bit of a wake up call. There are a lot of jobs that are much, much cooler. Especially if you are five years old.
You see, Daisy’s school has been inviting dads along to class as part of their celebration of Father’s Day. (It’s in June here, not September like back in Oz.) And today me and four other dads got to sit in for an hour in the morning, see what our children get up to and ‘help out’ with the lessons. Then we were ushered out just as the day’s special guest arrived.
Today’s special guest was Amelie’s dad. He is a pilot and arrived dressed in his pilots uniform. Me and all the other dads looked at each other with alarm.
We knew. Each and every one of us.
You can’t compete with a man in a uniform.
This is where you'll find everything you need to know about me and my books.
haha, I bet Daisy’s teacher is female?What a great tactic for getting a man in uniform to come into school!!
Traffic Wardens wear uniforms… surely you can compete with this man?
