Victoria came into the bathroom this morning during my morning constitutional, and it being Father's Day, I asked for something I never get otherwise.
"Victoria, can Daddy have some privacy this morning?"
"Okay," she said, then opened up the cabinets and started hunting around for something. Seconds later she found it.
"Here, Daddy. Here's your privacy," she said and handed me a tampon. She walked out humming.
"I gave Daddy a privacy," I heard her tell The Mom a few minutes later.
I have to remember that tampon = privacy.

You have to write that one down in her memory book. That is just too funny! Happy Father's Day! :)

That is too funny! Nothing says father's day like your daughter giving you some "privacy". Happy Father's Day!

See, that's the difference between boys and girls.
Jake thought they looked like dynamite.

Nothing says Happy Father's Day quite like feminine products. Hope you enjoyed the freshness.

Classic!!

(At least she didn't hand you feminine cleanser. For some reason that would have been weirder to me.) Maybe the tampon is her version of the "sock on the door" for privacy - I mean, it HAS a rope attached.
Happy Dad's Day! Your children are very lucky to have you :)

Happy Father's Day, L,D! That definitely broadens my undestanding of both the word and the object. Hope your day went uphill from there. Or perhaps I should say, I hope the rest of the day was equally delightful.

The fact that you shared this very un-private story with the world shows that you have given up on the notion of ever having any real privacy again. Choosing humour over decorum is something that all parents of young children need to learn to do sooner or later, anyway. It will be interesting to see what lesson Victoria has to teach you next Father's Day.

another for the books (or blog, i guess)! hysterical. what would be doubly impressive here is if you admitted to actually knowing how to use one. please don't.

I spent the last two weeks moving across the country and getting kinda settled, and I haven't read your blog at all. Every entry I missed (all 3 of them!) made me laugh 'til I almost cried. Funny, Funny and thanks!

I can't believe I never commented on this one, I'm still giggling about it! I hope you had a great Father's Day!
