Being a Dad Is Like....

Coaching the Chinese national baseball team while speaking only English.

Sky diving with a parachute that is too small.

Riding your bicycle blindfolded.

Getting up from your seat in coach, going to the cockpit, and flying the plane just for fun.

Trying to send a man to the moon using simple addition and subtraction.

Conoeing down a raging river using a rope as a paddle.

Discovering the worlds largest, most valueable treasure in your very own home.

Okay, so I'm no dad, but I think you pretty much nailed what being a parent is like...

To add my own to the list: Parenthood is like trying to herd cats.

I love this post.

The most valuable treasure indeed! The malleable essence of us.
