So last night, I was told I would have to ride the bus to school in the morning. I hate riding the bus in the morning----its so crowded and i get to school later than I like to. Well as i was turning my lights off my dad poked his head in and said, "What time are you getting to school?" I said I didn't know, and he just smiled his big grin at me. "I'll take you into school tomorrow morning little girl"
"Really!?Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!" I was so excited. I even bounded down the stairs. After that I couldn't go to bed. You see I love when my daddy takes me into school. In one of my earlier blogs I talked about my drives with mother being peaceful. Well with my daddy its loud and full of energy. I guess you can say it wakes me up. = ] As soon as I get seated and buckled my dad turns on the radio to an oldies station. Now a few years ago I hated the oldies and I would've been the kid sinking lower and lower into the front seat, but for the past 3 years or so me and my daddy have gotten really close especially in the summers when hes off more-that's where I feel in love with the oldies. OK-so back to this morning....once we pulled onto 231 we were already belting out lyrics. Once the song was over he turned down the radio and we talked and laughed, then when another song came on up goes the volume. One of my favorite oldies songs came on and it was by Tony Orlando and Dawn----"Knock Three Times." My dad gets very enthused when he listens to "his oldies". So he was dancing and like practically yelled the lyrics. That cracks me up and of course I'm sitting right beside him doing the same thing. : )
As we are getting closer and closer to school, Dolly Parton comes on the radio with her famous hit, "I Will Always Love You" I actually like that song and my dad loves Dolly so again we belted it out. Now I'm an Edmonson and Edmonson's have big mouth so I feel sorry for the cars that were beside us at the red light. LOL. By the time we got to school I had the biggest smile on my face as I said goodbye to my dad. I love my dad and our drives together...what can i say? Like Father Like.....DAUGHTER!
