I have officially arrived at that point in life where I am more embarrassing to my two older kids than I am a cool guy to hang out with. It's sort of a tough pill to swallow at first because I guess I had visions that my kids would always think their Dad was the coolest thing out there. I'm not sure why I thought that would be the case because I certainly went through a phase with my own Dad where it wasn't cool to hang out with him. It was though, just a phase and I later came around to appreciate the great qualities my Dad has and yes, how cool it can be to just hang with him every now and then.
It's with this experience and knowledge that I don't mind doing silly stuff in public that polarizes my kids - Kyron thinks I'm hilarious and Makela/Caleb want to crawl in a hole. I know sooner or later, they'll all come around to seeing how good I look in my Buffalo Wild Wings hat, but for now this picture says it all.
