Compliment

On the way to dance class this morning, Amelia piped up from the back seat and said "Daddy, I love you. You are the silliest dad in the world."  Now, this may not sound like much, but it made me very, very happy. You see, to Amelia, being the silliest dad in the world is basically the best compliment she can even imagine. This was the equivalent of her saying "Dad, screw Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi,  and Martin Luther King Jr., you are the greatest human to have ever walked the planet"
