Perhaps it was due to visiting late with friends the night before, running un-godly long distance runs, having a slight sinus cold or doing yard work in the warm sun; but Dan was extremely tired this past Saturday. As he sat in his chair after dinner, he shared his lack of energy with Kylie and I.
Ky advised confidently, "I know how to fix that."
"You do? How?"
Kylie got off her chair, calmly walked toward him and placed both hands on his face, one on each cheek. Slowly then, she pulled one hand slightly off his face and... SMACK!
All he could do was chuckle and shake his head.
Perhaps it is because she is his only child.
Or because she is a girl.
Or because she is six.
Or all of that combined.
But she got away with it and I enjoyed it immensely.
