Manicure

[eumelia]

I just gave my father a manicure.

He came in to the living room, where I was happily surfing and commenting where out of blue he says:
"Melody, file my nails", I give him a "what..." look, but concede, it's very difficult to say no to daddy.
So I sit next to him, begin filing and say "You should really use some moisturizer"
He says "Okay"
Me: "Seriously?"
No answer, once I'm done filing his nails, I ask, "Would you like some nail hardener?"
"Why?" he asks
"To make your nails look healthier and actually be healthier"
"Okay" he replied and I put on the hardener.
I claim success and manicure ending.
He asks "Aren't you going to get the moisturizing cream?"
"You want it?" I ask amazed.
"Yes"
And so I get my Dove and hand it to him.
"No," he says "the whole point os for someone else to massage it in, somebody you love"
"And I'm the only one who loves you?" I ask sceptically.
"Exactly"

I felt squishy, I'm a real Daddy's Girl and am so proud of him... the man has nail polish on his finger nails... he's 61 years old.


This is just a little something I felt I needed to share, now I'm being screamed at to join Shabbat (friday night) dinner.

that's so cute. I like it when guys aren't afraid not to seem tough all the time ^^

I think my father is very progressive when it comes to grooming. He has a hair cut every three weeks and goes to a special barber shop to trim his beard.
