Guest Post: Father Son Day - Lessons Dallas Taught Me

I spent an entire day with Dallas on Sunday, and it's (unfortunately) a really rare thing. We had a great time. Here are a few things I observed about my little guy, and these are lessons everyone can use:

  • If you see something or someone you like, smile and laugh like it's the best thing that's ever happened to you.
  • Snacks are good.
  • If you're doing something that's really fun, keep doing it until it's not (or you get too tired to keep going)
  • The thrill of chasing your 4-wheel push cart downhill always outweighs the terror of it.
  • If you eat something that you don't like the taste of, or it's too hot or cold, just open your mouth and look down. Gravity will solve the problem.
  • If you try really hard to catch your shadow, you can do it.
  • Getting around on something with wheels is way more fun than walking.
  • It is 100% possible to get by in life based on good looks alone. I'm not saying that it's a good plan, but there is no question that it's true.
  • There's not a man on the planet that doesn't look a little bit cooler in a black cowboy hat
Thanks for the great day, Son. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Love, Dad
