Tonight Danny’s class sponsored a Fathers’ Dessert. Danny and I went to Ms. Wys’s classroom. I got to sit in a small chair.

Ms. Wys read quotes from the kids that described their fathers. The dads were supposed to guess if the description was of them. However, “My dad likes to tickle me. My dad likes steak. My dad snores” are pretty broad clues.

I was one of the few fathers able to guess. My description was “My Dad makes checks and writes checks. He tells jokes and I forget them. He likes to play catch with me.” I won two M&Ms for guessing.

Then there was an awards ceremony. Each kid won a different award. Danny was awarded “Best Imagination.” The two of us were very proud of him as Ms Wys put the medal around his neck and the crowd applauded.

Each kid then prepared his or her dad an ice cream dish with lots of toppings.

I got a tour of the classroom from Danny, and he read me his journal that he had kept the entire year.
