As any father should, I of course think my daughter is the most special person in the world, but she is such a clone of her mother I sometimes wonder where all my genes went.
I was reminded that they’re most certainly in there working their chemical magic the other day when I took her along for a walk. Me on foot and her on her beloved Razor scooter.
After a while she started getting tired of scootering and wanted me to carry the scooter. Okay, no problem. Then she thought I was walking too fast—speed being the reason she had the scooter with her in the first place.
So we were walking along, her a few steps behind me, when I heard her mutter under her breath, “This is so stupid.”
Yep, there they are, the Lindh genes.

Thank you for making me cry.
Also, I’ve had my first glass of wine in five months. Salut.
