I’ll never forget the day my daughter walked into the living room with a mischievous glint in her eye. Her words tumbled out in a frantic rush, leaving me stunned and struggling to keep up. “Dad, I want you to cancel my allowance, rent out my room, and get rid of all my belongings,” she declared.
At first, I thought she’d lost her mind. Was she seriously asking me to disown her and kick her out of the house? I couldn’t help but wonder what on earth had prompted this outburst. But as I looked into her eyes, I saw a hint of a smile playing on her lips.
And then it hit me – she wasn’t being serious at all. This was just her clever way of introducing me to someone special. The words that followed were music to my ears: “Dad, this is my new boyfriend.”
