The Idiot Father

POSTED BY BK

My wife, Kristyn, was sick on Tuesday morning, so in an attempt to be helpful I stayed home a little later to take care of our daughter, Alexis, and allow Kristyn to get some rest. Anyone that knows me recognizes that I'm a pretty attentive father and spend a tremendous amount of time doting on my daughter. That being said, I decided to give Alexis a bath to help my wife out. Despite spraying water directly in her eyes a handful of times and flooding our kitchen, this process went down without a hitch. I brought her into her room, got her dressed, etc--again, no problems. Where I ran into some difficulty was with the styling of her hair. This is a kid that I've spent over 12 hours per day for the last 7+ months staring at, yet I didn't have the slightest clue which side to part her hair to. My initial thought was to go ask Kristyn, but being the resourceful guy that I am, I turned on our digital camera and looked through some photos of Alexis until I recognized the pattern and styled her hair accordingly. Problem solved--What a Jonah!!!

FYI--Alexis' hair parts to the left, same as mine (poor kid).
