Yay, yay, yay, yay, yay for Daddy Mars! He continues to rock my world. I love and adore this whole bit

“OK, how long are you gonna sit there pretending that you didn’t just see me kissing a girl on the doorstep?”

“About that long.”

“Uh huh. Are you freaking out?”

“No. I’m thinking that Meg’s a nice kid and that I don’t need to worry about teenage pregnancy.”

“True. Meg and I are thinking of adopting.”

“That’s nice, honey.”

“Probably from Asia. That’s all the rage these days”

“Well, I like their food.”

Veronica rolled her eyes and walked over to place a kiss on her father’s head.

“Goodnight, Dad.”

“G’night honey.”

Veronica paused at the door to her room.

“You’re pretty cool, you know that right?”

He looked over at her and grinned.

“Daddy Cool. That’s me.”

I may build a small shrine to Daddy Mars
