I'm so proud of my 10-year-old daughter
 

My older daughter has a weekly assignment in her 5th Grade Social Studies class to cut out an article from our local rag covering a "current event" and to make a short presentation on the current event to her class. Her classmates usually choose articles about natural disasters, political events, etc. Without any prompting or encouragement from me, she chose the Super Derby as her "current event" this week. I was beaming with pride when she told me, and thinking back to how I developed a passion for this sport, I realized that it has to be in the bloodlines.

Who does she pick?

That's awesome! Are you guys coming to the race?

I would expect child services to be at your house by noon........................

Hurricane Ike.

or a call from the principal.

Don't feel bad, my son makes communion next year and my wife and I are looking for places to have a party. Many of the restaraunts are already booked. So I suggested having a big BBQ at Monmouth Park.
For some strange reason, she isn't being very receptive about the idea....................

What if you gave her a voucher?

You don't want to have to cancel at the last minute. But I would divorce her anyway. Oh, wait, you are Catholic. GRL.

That's funny. When discussing where to have our two year old's party this past spring my wife suggested Monmouth Park. Unfortunately all the picninc areas were booked. Next year! You would not believe how much my kid loves the horses and jockeys. Paco Lopez is clearly his favorite. If you see a 2 year old kid by the paddock shouting "Hey Mister Paco!" it's us, say hello.

That's awesome.

I look forward towards meeting you in those parental classes run by the state.

haha, see you there!

That's awesome DaTruth. Hope teach gives her a Grade I.

Just confirms that you are an excellent dam sire!
