Hi, my name is Elizabeth. I am the kind of girl who does my homework before being told and likes things done the right way.This is my dad. He likes when things are done his way, but he also thinks baseball isn't boring.And this is my little sister, Lulu. She ALWAYS does things the Lulu way.Sometimes when I spend the day with just my dad it can be ... a little different.Like sometimes when I'm with Dad, I am the alarm clock.And sometimes when I am with Dad, I eat an unusual breakfast.My bed gets made, but it still looks like someone is in it. "Lulu?"Once Lulu's shoes went on the wrong feet--but not for the ENTIRE day.Sometimes my pigtails look like a pig put them in.My dad is the absolute worst at helping me with any art project, but he always thinks what I have done is a work of art.And nap time can turn into tickle time.My dad is always the clumsiest guest at our tea party.And we always have to use the wrong bathroom at the gas station.Sometimes my room doesn't get picked up all day long and becomes an obstacle course!And my bath can turn into a water park. "Lulu? ... Lulu?!?!"Sometimes we get to watch the game.And my dad makes up the best, crazies bedtime stories.Sometimes my tricks to avoid bedtime actually work, but I end up asleep anyway.But no matter how different they are, my days with Dad are the best because I am with someone who loves me more than anything.
