We’ve been watching Michael leave for work some mornings lately. It’s fun for the kids to watch him get his bike from the garage, then we all run to the front window to watch him bike up our street. The girls have seen this all before, but Sim has only recently been introduced to the fun of watching Dada leave for work.
This has had some unexpected and fun repercussions. Sim will see someone on a bike and say to me, “Wha doin’, Mama?” which, in translation, means, “What’s that person doing, Mama?” So I’ll tell him that person is riding a bike.
Sim then enthusiastically exclaims, “DADA!”
Yes, every person on a bike is Dada to Sim. A 12-year-old girl, a 65-year-old man, a biker who has the team sponsorship biking outfit on, he doesn’t care. They’re all Dada.
