My Cool Dad

By Caitlin

Is your dad as tall as mine? I bet he isn't. My dad is as tall as a door and sometimes he has to duck through the door so he doesn't bang his head.

He is a huge giant, he is taller than anyone else in my family. I think he is handsome.

Even though he is young, my Dad has a bit of a bald head, but he's not totally bald as there are a few tiny hairs on his head. He shaves the tiny hairs to make his head smooth but if you touch his head, there's little prickles there.

I think Dad is brave, strong and wise. He is strong because he can lift me up high and I can touch the roof.

My Dad snores a lot when he is in bed at night. Sometimes he wakes me up in the night with his snoring.

On Saturdays my Dad goes for a bike ride around the block and it usually takes him about one hour and guess what, he even does it on Fathers Day.

Dad is really generous to me because he takes me to places I like to go.

My Dad is the BEST Dad in the world!
