My dad burst in my room with a big smile on his face. My KFC hopped from my lap and I huffed. "DADDY! THAT WAS MY LAST PIECE!" I said bending down to pick it up.

"Yea about that sweetheart...can i have it please please?" he said like a kid. I sighed and gave it to him.

"So you eat chicken off the floor now?" I said giggling. He looked at it and laughed. "Oh shoot you're right." He tossed it in the trash and plopped on the bed.

"I thought you were going on a hot date with mom."

"Oh yea about that....me and your mom have other things planned tonight." he said with a look on his face.

"TMI daddy." I said laughed. He gave me a face and looked at my wedding magazine. "Already huh?" he asked.

"Yea. I havent had much time to get to it."

"Are you ready to get married right now sweetheart? Its a big commitment."

"Im ready daddy. I really love Lucas."

"I know you do babygirl. I just dont want you leaving the house just yet. I want you to stick around."

"Daddy Im not going to move out. Im staying with you and mom." I said smiling. He smiled back and just looked at me.

"What?" I said

"Nothing...its just hard imagining you as an adult when all I see is that little face that used to get at me." he said giggling.

"I dont get at you now? Because I was gonna ask you for a hundred dollars." I said with my signature puppy face. He let out a laugh and shook his head. "For that joke you arent getting anything. That was so corny! I thought you learned the best from your dad!" he said joking around.

"Oh please....my jokes are WAY better than yours daddy."

"Oh really? Best joke gets 500 bucks." he said.

"Pshhh. You're on!"

We both ran downstairs to my mom and told her to sit down. "OK so whoever makes you laugh first gets 500 bucks!" I said excitedly. My mom laughed and shook her head. "Another father/daughter challenge. Im waiting." she said crossing her legs.

"Ok. Listen to this. What's tall and older than spongebob?" I asked.

"I dont know. What?" my mom said.

"Your back hair!" I said laughing. She gasped and gave me a silly look. "What in the hell kind of joke is that?!"

"A good one! Everyone knows you dont have back hair mom!"

"Oh lord. OK you next Michael." she said. He took a deep breath and started laughing. "I think this is going to be good. OK. Why did they lock up the man with the buckled suit?"

"Why?" my mom asked.

"Because he was BAD. Get it? He....was....bad. OK OK!! I KNOW THAT WAS BAD. HA HA! THERE I GO AGAIN!" he said laughing hysterically. My mom and I looked at him and shook our head.

"OK who won?" he asked. My mom got up and laughed. "Neither of you. Your enthusiasm is hilarious however."

"Enthusiasm? Mom!" I said rolling my eyes. My dad laughed and reached in his pocket. "For trying." he said handing me 500 bucks. "OH YEA OH YEA! FEELS AWESOME TO LOSE FOR THE FIRST TIIIIIIIIIIME!" I said singing. My dad hugged me and laughed.

"Sorry daddy better luck next time!" I said kissing his cheek.

"Dont let it get to your head." he said giggling. I smiled and told him thank you. "You're welcome babygirl. Now...Im going to go see about your Mama." he said walking away.

My daddy is so fun and awesome. I wouldnt trade him in for the world
