Dumb dad
A moment I wish I could have back ...
Last night, as I was helping our 7-year-old ready for bed, he caught a glimpse of "The Biggest Loser" on TV.
As I explained the show's concept to him, he eagerly chimed in: "You could lose some weight, too, Dad."
Bang. That one hit a little too close to home.
I then said something I immediately regretted. I won't repeat it here, but suffice to say it brought him to tears.
Not a good dad move. Not good at all.
We worked it out. But sometimes, as a dad, you wonder: Just what are you thinking?
Parents aren't perfect. That was an imperfect moment.
