I might be a little slow...

... but I'm figuring this Daddy thing out. :-)

I shaved this morning.

I know, its an interesting thought for me... I don't often shave.

But I did.

And oh my word, Ping was hunting me down for kisses!

Apparently, not only did she NOT like long hair, she did NOT like my permanent 5 o'clock shadow facial hair.

If ONLY she had given me a clue earlier that she did not like my long hair, or scruffy facial hair... instead I had to figure this ALL out on my own.

(insert really cool flashback type animation here, like where the screen goes all wavy and theres like "woo-tinkly-tinkly-woo" music playing)

Ping: No one. This! *holds up her hand with all 5 fingers spread open*

Me: Oh you want 5 kisses?!

Ping: Yes! 5!

Me: Daddy would LOVE to give you 5 kisses!

Why are women SO complicated!

Why can't she just give me a SIGN as to what she wants... *siiiigh* :-)

It may take me a bit of time, but I'll figure out what she's thinking.
