I like to think I take after my Dad. He was and still is always playing with the kids. My friends always liked it when he was around. And when he was younger, the neighborhood kids in the apartment complex he lived in with my mother and older brother would ask for HIM to come out and play.
This type of thing doesn't happen without a strong woman. A man doesn't get to play and be a weirdo with his kids if the woman isn't holding things down. Homework, breakfast, dinner, cleaning, laundry (haha)...that all has to be done or else the men can't play. And my wife takes care of those things. So I get to play. And I don't think there's anything more fulfilling than chasing kids around the yard or piling them in the lawn tractor pull cart for improvised tractor rides. Kids need to see adults play and have fun. They need to know that life should be fun and that even adults, all seriousness and discipline aside, can still make funny faces, sing and run around aimlessly having fun. She makes that possible.
