Mmmmm… Donuts

Long time readers will remember that last year I screwed up big time when I forgot to meet Emma at her school for dads and donuts. We ended up going to Krispy Kreme and buying donuts. In the end, I made it up to her and all was well. I still felt bad though and vowed not to forget to go the next time dads and donuts came around.

Last week, Emma came home and told me that dads and donuts was coming up again and that I better not forget it this time. Ever since she told me about it, I have very conscientious about not forgetting to go. I figured that it would be best if I went before school started. That way, I could take Emma to school and then go to work. I wouldn’t have to worry about getting off of work on time or getting too busy and forgetting.

When Emma woke up this morning, I told her that I needed to hurry and go to work. Her eyes tripled in size as she cried out in fear as she thought that I had forgotten dads and donuts once again. In all actuality, I was only playing with her and, once she realized it, conceded that it was a pretty funny joke.

I took Emma to school and we went into the library where the event was being hosted. We each ate a donut while she showed me her favorite I-Spy books.

Emma had a lot of fun which, to me, is the most important part. I enjoyed spending time with her looking at books. Due to our busy lives, it’s rare that I get to sit down with her like this and not have any distractions. I’m glad that I didn’t forget about it this time.
