Ask The Important Questions

For as long as I can remember, Greg has asked our 7-year-old the same question each time he gets out of the bathtub.

Now that he's older, he asks Griff the same question just after a shower.

Not sure how this little tradition got started, but I've quietly observed it over the years. Greg always waits till Griff has dried off and left the room, then calls him back. Here's what happens...

Greg: Hey, Griff...

Griffin: Yeah?

Greg: You feel better now that you got a bath?

Griff: DAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!

It's usually followed by a rolling of the eyes and a grin that wonders why his Dad asks him that over and over.

Last night, I was helping Griff towel-dry his hair after his shower, and I had to smile when he said...

"Aren't you gonna ask me?"
