So my daughter made some not so good choices a few weeks ago. 

After a few minutes of digging, we realized her bad choices came down to this: she wanted to be like the cool kids at school. 

It only took me about 5 minutes of preaching to her to realize that I basically do the same exact thing. 

And so do you. 

Sure we might have outgrown the patchy facial hair, cracking voice, untreatable acne and pizza BO that plagues many a junior high kids, but for the most part, we all still play the same game of trying to be as cool as the other 'kids'. It's just a lot more expensive now. 

Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, dad, Dad, Dad...

54 times.

Pretty sure that's how many times my daughter has said dad in the last 54 seconds.

Its unrelenting. A truly unending slew of requests.

I'm not gonna lie, sometimes I get frustrated cause I'm tired and I just want to watch the game. Or take a break. Or actually have the last sip of my pop instead of share it.

Good news is our heavenly papa ain't like me. The prophet Isaiah says...
