Dear Peter,
Everyone should have a dad who tells them ridiculous stories. 😉 I had one. Great memories.
Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you!
Haha! Love to spin kids tall tales. We’ve told my son a few over the years, though we’ve been found out on every occasion so far. Great story that made me smile 🙂
A smile is all I ask for. Thank you.
My pleasure 🙂
I think all parents have been guilty of this! It made me smile.

Love this comment.
Oh wait… it wasn’t about me?
This is so funny. Pyramids turned red because of climate change–brilliant dad. Lovely story.
Happens all the time in our home!
Yeah, I indeed do the eye rolling!
I love this dad! He reminds me of mine.
Sweet story, Peter. I loved the stories my dad told of his childhood, growing up, and time in the Navy. They were funny even without being made up. Good writing. 🙂 — Suzanne
