What? It Is Gonna Be a What?

Dear girl,

Went to the baby doctor today for an official gender check. You just threw my life a curveball.

You are a girl.

A GIRL.

So on my way home, I enrolled in karate and a concealed weapons class.

A GIRL.

I was so excited to be able to have a son. I was going to teach you to spit sunflower seeds, turn double plays, teach them how to treat a woman….

But you know…now your Mom is going to be so spoiled….because I will show you how a woman is to be treated by a man….and while you won’t be a boy….a boy can’t be Daddy’s little girl.

You are going to have me wrapped around her little finger…..I’m in a lot of trouble.

I’ve already practiced the conversation for your first date….goes like this….

Boy: I’m here to pick up your daughter.
Me: No you’re not. Leave.

Oh me….what am I going to do with a girl…..

We are going to name you after our grandmothers. My Dad thought it was amazing…special moments….

Well, I’m off to clean my gun.

I love you today, tomorrow, and forever,
Dad
