To my Dad.

Approximately Three.

I’m fairly sure I remember the purple flowers being taller than my head, and now they reach my shoulders at best.
They’re still super pretty though, and Daddy’s with me now.
All little girls think their fathers are cool but I have the rare privilege of knowing.
He’s so funny, and always smiling.
He picks me up and flips me over his shoulder.
He drops me through Santa Clause’s Trap Door, and I don’t realize at the time how funny the 37 year old, DJ Dr. Seuss, Karate King, Hot Dog, backward hats wearing, smooth-talkin, former sucker-at-life was, while just making up some random-ass game to make his daughter giggle.
The dry humor starts with you.
“Knights who say ’Ni!’” are funny in precisely the same way.
My scripts are arranged similarly on a ridiculous premise like a lap being Santa Clause’s Trap Door, and end even more enjoyably when the ending drops you.
I know how much you love metaphors and now you know how bad I am at mine.

What’s most important is expressing how everything you’ve done has made me everything I am.
I love you.
And thank you.
