Dads

As I was out cruising the streets of Parkland this morning I took notice of this: Dads. It just so happens that I often drive down 112th around the time the bus comes to pick up all the kiddos for school. At many stops there is a tired mom, maybe two, waiting with their kids and neighbor kids for the bus to come. Most excellent. But it is one corner in particular that keeps catching my eye.

At this corner there are always 2-3 men out there waiting with their children. For reasons I cannot quite articulate, this makes me happy. I guess I'm glad there are at least dads in the picture for these kids. That and the dads themselves actually look well... maybe not happy, but not bad. (Picture Hank Hill standing out on the curb with the guys, just kinda... hanging there. Probably not the highlight of their day, but certainly nothing to complain about.)

Anyway, not too sure where I was going with this. Just neat to see some male figures around the wee ones.
