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

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

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)...

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!"

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.

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.

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...

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

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!

Christina LMT — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 22:25:00 -0000

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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! :)

J.R.Shirley — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 12:17:00 -0000

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

MiniKat — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 11:11:00 -0000

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

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