Image via WikipediaFor a while, my favorite movie was Daddy Day Care. I still quote parts of it, like "I missed." "What do you mean, you missed?" "I missed." *cue scary music as Eddie Murphy looks in horror at what "missed" meant for his wallpaper*I still can't help but chuckle at the thought of three men trying to take care of the demon spawn that some of those kids were. It's hilarious. The entire movie is, in a way, a testament to the fact that daddies do exist and can contribute to their children's well-being.
While I know that there are exceptions to everything, I can't help but be grateful that I've had my Dad to count on my entire life. He's been a great role model, and although at times he can seem to be a little overbearing, I know it's just because he loves me.
Thankfully though, he's pretty cool most of the time. I like to think he's a mixture of Mr. Weasley and Tim "The Tool-man" Taylor. (He looks a lot like "The Tool-man" in my opinion.)
It's funny now that I think about it, but Mr. Weasley is the only literary dad that I can actually think of. There has to be more. Maybe I'm just having early-morning, caffeine-deprivation block. If y'all can think of any more, let me know. I'd appreciate it!
Happy Father's Day to all those dads out there!!

I used to ask for proper grammar and such in comments. Now that I'm older, I realize it's still important, but that not everyone likes following the rules or even remembers the rules. Instead, let's just be kind.
