My niece was soooo excited to have a "date" with her Daddy. My brother is "macho man" tough and not very emotional, but he was a good sport and bought my niece a corsage and everything. At the dance they had a booth set up to take pics (like Prom). They got great pics to remember the night. My niece said at the end of the night, when my sis-in-law was tucking her in, that she "was going to remember this night with her Daddy forever."<br /><br />Kudos to you Dr. Grumpy! I never had such an opportunity with my Dad. If Marie felt anything like my niece, you've just created one heck of a memory with your daughter.Dr. Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03330328225193503723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-61014545672800445752010-05-18T17:30:18.563-04:002010-05-18T17:30:18.563-04:00You laugh now, but wait a few years when she is go...You laugh now, but wait a few years when she is going off to college--you will yearn for the day of the pink tuxedo, I know mine is graduating from college in Beantown and is thinking of living there.

There I am, reading your post, following along quite nicely,and then, BAM! its/it's rears its (you have no idea how hard I had to restrain myself from inserting an apostrophe into that last "its") ugly head: and day turns into night, the Beatles get back together, the sun starts revolving around the earth, gravity reverses its pull, life on this planet as we know it ceases to exist, AND I LOSE THE DAMN THREAD OF YOUR POST!!!<br /><br />So, have a heart, Doc. Hire an editor. Please. Pretty-please.<br /><br />What's that you say, Doc? I should go fuck myself?

She could have privately e-mailed Dr. Grumpy. That way he could've corrected it and anyone who previously noticed would assume that he'd caught the mistake and fixed it. Any new people who hadn't read the post would be none the wiser. <br /><br />So next time someone notices a mistake and they just can't let it go, hit the pagingdrgrumpy link over on the right.Gennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-86159485305106770262010-05-17T16:28:32.722-04:002010-05-17T16:28:32.722-04:00This was a most delightfully zany tale.
