Five Things I Want My Kids to Know

Almost a month ago, my cousins Dan & Nancy tagged me. It took me awhile to write this post because I spent a lot of time really thinking about it (read: I am lazy).

I'm supposed to be writing about the five things that I want my kids to know. Of course, I don't have any kids (as far as you know), so I'm going to have to live a little vicariously through others.

1. I want my kids to know how to create their own happy life. I could do everything for Aaron Jr. until he turns 18, but I won't.

2. I want my kids to know what I believe about the Judeo-Christian God. Then I want them to be smart and open to choose for themselves. It'll be my job to be an example of what Christianity is.

3. I want my kids to know more than I do. However, I don't want them to realize this.

4. I want my kids to know that I'll always be there, and that old dad won't act off the cuff or overreact to any situation.

5. I want my kids to know that the Chicago Cubs are the only baseball team worth rooting for. I also want them to know a world where the Cubs win stuff.

I love the post Aaron. I seriously considered having the Cubs on my list, and if I could have cheated and made it 6 things, it would have. I also considered replying to your post with: "Are you saying that the Cubs aren't the Judeo-Christian God?"

So... I am not sure I am too fond of the techno polka. I can barely polka to a slower song, I really don't think I could keep up with that one!
