My kids call me “Abba,” which is hebrew for Father.
The other day, Paco (3) and Tonka (4.5) were asking for things incessantly…
“Abba, this. Abba, that. Abba, I want cheese. Abba, I want yogurt.”
It was driving me crazy.
Finally, I said, “ok, for the next five minutes, no one says ‘Abba.’ I don’t want to hear it.”
Tonka sits quietly.
Paco looks at me and says,
“Jeremy, can I have some water?”
Wonder where he gets it… :-)
