Can You Marry me

August 5, 2012


 A strict regimen, mixed with love,  poured over honesty, garnished with a slice of responsibility, is what Daddy says helps him with our daily routine. Which, I might add, is rarely altered. Daddy says we are cranky if we stay up past bed time. even though, I think it's the other way around. After dinner, we usually sit, play, or talk with each other, before we brush our teeth and get ready for bed. A little T.V. wouldn't hurt, but very seldom does Daddy turn on the T.V.. When he does, we get to watch our favorite shows on Netflix. Daddy says the greatest thing about it is, that there aren't any commercials to distract us from learning. Alyssia and I love Pocoyo and the Lalaloopsy movie. I enjoy watching the Fairies and Bratz. Alyssia is a Dora, Diego, and baby Bratz fan. Daddy loves Word girl, Super why, and a collection of Leap Frog movies. He said, he would rather see us play with our toys, than sit in front of a T.V.. I agree, I love all my toys and I love my Daddy. After all is said and done, it's time for bed.

 Last night, at the end of our routine. Daddy asked us for a kiss and hug goodnight as usual. Alyssia gave him kisses and hugs then I also granted his request with a kiss on the cheek and before I would give him a hug, I said "I want to give you a kiss on your lips, Daddy." Daddy answered me with surprise "We don't kiss each other on the lips, Maritza.". I tried to convince him and said "married people kiss on the lips, yea" He laughed under his breath and said "Yes they do, baby. Married people kiss on the lips". Then came a question that put a tear in Daddy's eye "When I grow up, can I marry..
-I mean when I grow up, can you marry ME, Daddy?"
Daddy paused, after he let out an "awwww " and followed with the answer I wanted to hear "Yes Maritza, I will" I was so happy. I gave him another kiss on the cheek, an extra big hug, and said "I love you, Daddy" He kissed me on my forehead and replied "I love you too, Maritza"
"Me too, Daddy?" Alyssia said.
"Of course, Alyssia. I love you too. Goodnight girls, sweet dreams"
As he walked out of our bedroom with the voices of his little girls saying "goodnight, Daddy". I couldn't help but think, My daddy is the greatest daddy in the world. Don't ever change.
