Yes, I liked that. So was my friend. He said he is going to check it out tomorrow. We will be back before you know it.

This is a fantastic post. I just stumbled onto your blog and I love it. My father is a lawyer and used to read bedtime stories to me in a similar fashion.
Great post.

[...] -Holding on to her inevitably fleeting belief that our house is a castle, that she’s its princess, and that I’m her prince. And that every fairy tale ends with, “and then she went on to lawschool and practiced with Prince Daddy for ever and ever.” [...]

Prefersherfantasy- If I had children, and I died, I’d want you to raise them.
Muskrat & Pretty Bride- way to go! I have a feeling your daughter will be disappointed one day when she reads these stories herself and finds out how lame the endings are.
Little Mermaid- Ariel joins the humans on land where she becomes a marine biologist, working to spread awareness about the importance of oceanic eco systems. Her friend Eric works in at the PR firm that helps shape the message of her work. Her work as a marine biologist allows her to swim to the castle to play candyland with Prince Daddy.

Hey! Thanks for the visit today. I go to NSL- with 5 kids I don’t have time for day school at Vandy. I love your fairy tails, they sound really similar to the ones my husband told my girls. I have my own variation for my boys as well, they involve no girls whatsoever…

And a belated Happy Veterans Day to you as well!

csquared, now i know where the “+3″ comes from. cool! thanks.

sci-fi dad, i’m not sure if i should be appalled or grateful for this advice.

PB, i’m glad you think my typical stories aren’t true. it’s just better that way.

prefersfantasy, i usually ask for a whig when i name a party.

churchpunk, sure you can. but i’d need to attach some man parts to your stories if we’re trading.

avatg, therapy? not for this…maybe some of my other judgment lapses.

UR, i’m not sure what direction you thought the post would go, but i’m glad it didn’t go there.

theresa, i suppose i will.

freeman, thanks. although the trip to australia would make it worth it.

My 18 year old daughter has already dumped two unworthy boyfriends in the span of well under one semester.

I’m so proud

I don’t have a daughter – three sons – BUT, if I did, I’m certain I would mother her, the EXACT same way that you Father your daughter.

That’s adorable and very, very smart.

Nicely done, although if you keep this up, 25 years from now we’ll be reading a post about how you and your wife wish your kid would go and get her own place already…

In all seriousness, we have been avoiding the whole “saved by the prince” thing completely thus far. Surprisingly, if you want princess stories where the heroine saves herself, sometimes in spite of the man, the Barbie DVDs are actually good sources (unrealistic body images aside). I so wish I was kidding.

I’d like to go on record with two things:

I didn’t know my husband was a feminist when I married him, but it’s cute as hell now.

Every word of this post is true. For once.
