When I was younger, if I had a choice to go shopping with Mom or Dad I would always choose Dad. The reason, it was much easier to get Dad to buy me something that I wanted, than Mom. I had, and still have, my Dad wrapped around my finger! What I didn't realize was that I would have a husband who was wrapped around his daughter's finger.
Last weekend Michael and I decided to go get stocking stuffers for each other at Walmart. We each took a kid, Zach with me and Samantha with Michael. I asked Micheal to help Samantha pick out a Christmas present that she wanted to give Zach. That led them to the toy section. Samantha did not think it was fair to get a toy for Zach and not get one for herself. If I had taken her, I would have told her that Zach was going to get her a present too; she would just have to wait until Christmas to get it. That's not what hapened. For some reason, Michael could not resist his sweet little princess.
When we met up an hour later, Samantha proudly showed me her mermaids. She got three miniature mermaids (they cost $11!!!!) just by asking her dad for them. This is something I totally would have done to my dad! So, instead of being frustrated, like I was at first, I decided that its good for Samantha to have her dad wrapped around her finger (just a little bit) from time to time. Besides, she has been carrying those silly mermaids everywhere all week, night and day!!!

I so remember the same thing with my dad! He let me loose with an L.L. Bean catalog once, and I felt so special!!! Of course, if it happened all the time, it wouldn't have had the same effect, but every once in awhile it's nice for a girl to be spoiled by her Daddy. :)
Wow! You're mom sounds like the wicked witch from the west! Good thing she knew how to choose a good dad for her princesses! :)
