DISQUS

Castr8r · 1 year ago

As a dad and a G'pa, I can share your pride. Damn! Ain't kids just WUNNERFUL!

hilinda · 1 year ago

That is a pretty cool kid, for sure. :-)

Angela · 1 year ago

? I think there might be a sainthood waiting for her. And that last part is just too cute for words!

cdees39 · 1 year ago

That is pretty neat. I second the sainthood nomination.< />< />Why didn't the cop have his own gloves? Don't they carry them in their squad cars?

She sounds unbelievably awesome, A.D. You should be plenty proud!

That's the stuff parents live for. Well done.

A friend had a neighborhood kid show up at his front door the other day after school. The child’s mother has always been home on time before, and she wasn’t picking up her cell phone. She is self employed. The only other bit of information that the kid knew was his grandparents phone number. The only thing that he knew about where they lived was “close”.< />< />So after throwing a bunch of ideas around my friend put a note on the front door, and decided that at 7pm he was going to call the police. Well several hours after the kid showed up, the mother shows up at the door. The kid forgot that the mother started a 9-5 job that day, forgot his key, didn’t know the security code, didn’t know his Dad’s number, didn’t know the grandparent’s number or address. Oh and the truck that was sitting in the garage (which he had the code for, but didn’t mention this to my friend) was one of his Dad’s work trucks that has his phone number written on the side of it.< />< />We were just amazed that this kid could be so out of it. The situation as a whole was quite depressing. This on the other hand gives me some hope that civilization isn’t doomed. Thank you. :)

That's priceless!!! Only KatyBeth could get away with telling a LA Police officer what to do, rather inform him he has to do what daddy says to do! I love it!

Well at least we did some practice using your Combitube. Thanks for sacrificing.

Kat · 1 year ago

Rogue Medic · 1 year ago

Castr8r,< />< />I'm assuming you came by the name after all of the reproduction. :-)< />< />AD,< />< />I'm surprised she was not scene command. She could do a better job than most. :-)

Bob@thenest · 1 year ago

There just aren't enough hugs and kisses for that one, AD, but I'm sure you'll try!< />< />And I'll bet you'll still be wearing that grin for another few days.< />< />BTW, isn't it about time you head out this way again?

Evil Transport Lady · 1 year ago

Wery cwool indeed!

Mrs. Who · 1 year ago

As a reward for her goodness and overall cuteness, you need to make this deliciousness for KatyBeth:< />< />http://foodproof.com/photos/full/bacon-cheese-roll-1290

TOTWTYTR · 1 year ago

That's a sweet story. You do have to have that talk with her about strange men in orange suits, though.

MiniKat · 1 year ago

Sharing bacon and asserting your authority to a peace officer... that's one awesome kid. You are a lucky dad.

J.R.Shirley · 1 year ago

You do have an awesome kid. I'm glad you have her, and want so badly to have tykes of my own...

Lisa · 1 year ago

You're right- you do have the coolest kid! and I sure hope the girl got a big hug from her dad for that vote of confidence! :) And yes, someday she does need the talk about the color of the those guys clothes but on the flip side of that it shows that she has a true compassionate heart! :)

Me, Myself and I · 1 year ago

That is most definately a great kid! Merry Christmas!

George · 1 year ago

AD ... I hope you're going to let both Brigid and Breda know that they have competition for 2008 Baconator of the Year. Sounds like KatyBeth may be nosing ahead. After all, sharing is a special attribute. Congrats to her on her control of the scene, too. You must be so proud of this young lady.

Julie · 1 year ago

Now that's an awesome little girl! Well done on not spoiling her moment by doing the "men in orange jumpsuit" talk at the time!

Kate · 1 year ago

Thanks for the story, AD. She seems like a little sweetie. Have a good Christmas. Stay warm.

Xtine · 1 year ago

Oh, man, she is AWESOME!< />< />you're raising a good one.

Sounds like you have done all the right stuff when it comes to parenting. I hope one day to have kids just as awesome as yours.

Bianca Castafiore · 1 year ago

My word verification almosts seems like comment enough:< />< />glortudi!< />< />as in: Glortudi, Ambulance Driver! I think I finally understand that quaint little phrase you Rescue-Roaming Americans employ to such effect! Having read your latest, I, too, think to have *thrown up just a little bit into my mouth*. < />< />Glortudinously yours,< />La Bonne et Belle Bianca Castafiore

Christina LMT · 1 year ago

She's the coolest kid 'cause she has the coolest dad!< />< />Merry Christmas...:)

Castr8r · 1 year ago

Momentary Thread Hijac!< />< />Rogue-< /> LMAO! I received this apellation from a college roomie after describing in grisly detail how to do the act. Since I am a country kid (I'm only 66), I was intimately familiar with the details as the castorator, not the castoratee. He called me Castor, which in conjunction with my last name, Ater, became- Castr8r!< />< /> Back on topic-< />Kids are wunnerful! And KatyBeth is the coolest! She's been pointed in the right direction, and is obviously intelligent, so AD, you can expect more moments like this.< />< />Merry Christmas!

Rising Rainbow · 1 year ago

I think she lives by example.....that's pretty cool!

Bianca Castafiore · 1 year ago

What is unclear, mon ami? A little bit of the bleck of preciosity, the repeated phlegmatics of parenthood, a return on an excess -- be it hormone, homespun humility, or just plain hominy? What little bit of vomitus escaped you? Are you wanting to be very tall and tough, rearing up on a bear's hind legs, thrashing the air in an imaginative defense of your daughter (and all that after an imagined slight!)?< />< />word verification - synga.< />< />Synga low, sweet chariot...

Ambulance Driver · 1 year ago

sweet enough to induce a sugar coma.< />< />It's just that, sometimes your arch little bon mots - if you'll forgive my recycling a homespun homily - make me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

LPN with an M16 · 1 year ago

that is awesome.

Linda · 1 year ago

What a lucky Dad you are indeed! < />< />Ordered your book the other day as a Christmas present to MYSELF. Can't wait to get it.< />< />I hope you and Katybeth have a wonderful Christmas.

Eternal Sunshine · 1 year ago

That is sweet - Gotta love kids.

RoaVaPD · 1 year ago

Awesome kid! Mine don't understand why I won't let them proudly lift my shirt to show my gun and loudly announce to everyone that "Daddy's a policeman!"

Kim · 1 year ago

That is awesome. Kiddoes just tell it like it is, no filters. She sounds like a super kid kid. My boys would NEVER often to share their bacon, not even to a dying person (or their mom for that matter)...

Gurl · 1 year ago

I wish I had a kid and a Dad like that!! Awesome that she is bragging on you, so would I!!

Gurl · 1 year ago

That is one AWESOME young lady. I would be proud to be her mom. I like the way she brags on her Dad.

Phoebe · 1 year ago

That's one kick-ass kid! If I'm ever in LA I'll babysit for you :)

Now I undersand the fixation on orange jumpsuits in the U.S.< />When I was in University getting my Nursing Degree I worked as a Wildland FireFighter in Ontario, Canada. < />We traveled a few times to Montana and Washington State to work on big fires. Of course, here we are walking through a small town in central washington getting sketchy looks from the tourists and townsfolk... < />Initial Attack Fire Ranggers wear Blaze Oange Nomex Coveralls in Ontario. A few of our guys get stops by the Police... we promptly sewed large Canadian flag patches on our L shoulder. < />< />Great Story, keep 'em coming
