Dismal Daddy

I realised today how ill-prepared I am for fatherhood.

I'm not a big fan of sports. I think F1 is boring, unless someone crashes. I never watch WWF. And I don't like football. Heh! I don't even like virtual games. I never got into the Playstation thing. I also don't have too much of a thing for cars either. So, no, I am not determined to own a Beemer someday! I'm just not your typical male, fatherhood-type guy.

And oh, did I mention I also don't like football?

I know this is sacrilegeous to many of you out there, but I just never got into the game. I might watch a little when the World Cup comes around, but generally, I'm not a fan. I don't know the rules too well and I don't know the players. Back when I used to watch football, Pele was the guy to watch. And Platini. Socrates. Lineker. Grobbelar (I not even sure if I spelt it right). Back when I watched football, the guys wore tight jerseys and short shorts. Hehhehh!!! These day, I'm clueless. Heck, Mae knows more football that I do.

"Daddy, daddy, what's an offside trap?"

"Erm... ask your mother, son."

    Well, he may turn up to be a non-sports fan like you, so that will be fine and dandy. But if he turns out to be a sports freak, knowing what I know of you, I'm sure you'll be a supportive dad and try your best to learn a thing or two about the sports that he likes to watch. Either way, you'll make a great dad. It's a given ;)
