Like
unicorns, I’ve only heard stories of these Daddy-Daughter dances by a few
friends with daughters. I was pleasantly surprised when my daughter came home
from school with an invite to one.
First
of all whoever came up with the idea of this dance I’d like to personally
thank. The idea of an event like this with your daughter is just great.
My
only issue was the DJ’s selections of songs – we walked into the ballroom and
the DJ had this song playing:
Butterfly
Kisses by Bob Carlisle
Seriously?
If there’s one thing a father doesn’t want to think about AT ALL, it’s GIVING
his daughter away to be married when she’s little. Or DATING. Or BOYS.
Then followed by a few of these...
Then followed by a few of these...
Cinderella
by Steven Curtis Chapman
My
Little Girl by Tim McGraw
I’ve
come to the conclusion that there’s nothing more depressing than a country song
about a daughter.
Later
when we got home - me emotionally exhausted and my daughter physically exhausted,
my wife asked me how it was. I told her about my newfound knowledge of DJ’s and
reinterated my disdain for country music calling it “the devil’s music” and
some other choice words. She went on to
tell me that the Mother-Son event was being held at a place that has lazer tag,
games, pizza, and go-kart racing.
Mother’s
have it so much easier…
