We always joke around about
what our mutant powers would be. Useful
things like being able to talk to Salmonella so I know how long to cook my
food. (get it? When my food stops
talking to me, it’s done because the Salmonella is dead!)
But now I have discovered that as a new
father I really do have powers! And they
are awesome. Here they are:
-Can go long periods without
bathing.
-High pain threshold on the
ends of my arm hair follicles
-Become adept at using one
hand for almost everything while holding a baby
-Decreased testosterone
levels. (For real! This actually
happens!) I guess it makes us less aggressive or something and therefore
more nurturing.
-Able to wake up instantly
at all hours of the night.
With this great power comes
great responsibility. Unfortunately, it
also has a weakness. That would be my
daughter who can melt my heart in an instant with a smile. As seen about 2/3 of the way through this
video of Von Bebe waking up in the morning.
Literally, I took this first thing yesterday morning. This is how she wakes almost every single
day. Enjoy.
...been meaning to speak to you about that first super power.
ReplyDeleteVery cute video. How can we all start our day like that?
That was BW BTW posting that
ReplyDeleteYeah, my wife's not too thrilled about the whole not bathing thing. I didn't say it's a super power for other people. Just me.
ReplyDeleteVon Bebe doesn't seem to mind so far.
