Wow, I am a parent.

I knew it would happen.  I heard about it from other parents, but it just happened to me and I want to write about it while it was still fresh in my memory.

Today, at dinner, Iliana was singing her ABC's and then she changed the words.  "A B C D Pappy" is what she started singing and every time she sang it, Evelyn thought that was too funny. So, Iliana just kept singing the same line, over and over again and they both were giggling at the table.  I am looking at them, I have no idea what is so funny.  Then I start laughing, because that is what I thought I was supposed to be doing.  Then, they started laughing even louder...this time AT ME!  I just don't get it.  What was so funny?  Then it dawned on me...I am a different generation than these girls.  They are my daughters, not my peers.  I know there will be many more moments like this one, and I hope that I can be a part of them, even if it is from the outside.
