Date Night

So, we're all in the van, driving in town from point A to B, and out of the blue Naomi declares, "I'm going on a date with daddy tonight."

Mommy: You are?
Naomi: Yep.
Mommy:  (to daddy) Is that right?

Trying not to look too bewildered, because this is the absolute first I've heard of this, I replied... "Yep."

Naomi grinned from ear to ear, satisfied that I had played along with her impromptu declaration. Even still, I don't think she had an expectation of the joke going beyond that, until later on that evening when I showed up downstairs in a shirt and tie. "Girl, you better get ready... we've got a date tonight!" And so became our first daddy daughter date. She's a bossy little lady, I tell you. Fun date, though.
