“Do his work. He feeds us and he makes us go to bed early so we can sleep well.

Mostly Momma cooks and he serves it. He takes really good care of us.”

“Working … like at his job. He orders hats, shirts or whatever and then he puts designs on them.
I wear a lot of the stuff he makes. I like when he puts my dirt bike number — 106 — on things.”

“He helps me practice singing, dancing, karate … any kind of sport I do.
For example, if I play baseball, he’ll throw the ball and I’ll try to catch it or hit it.
With dancing, he’ll tell me if I’m good or not; he doesn’t actually dance.”

“Guides hunters and fishermen.
He’s a registered Maine guide, and usually when someone goes out with him, they get something.
I’ve gone hunting with him before and shot a rabbit, a roadrunner,
a hog and a javelina, which is kind of like a hog and it’s a cousin to the hippopotamus.”

“Yelling at sports games — both in person and on TV.
He’s really good at that. He likes basketball, and when the ref makes a bad call, he’ll yell at the TV.
When he yells we usually tell him to calm down. He’s also really good at cooking. He makes jambalaya.”

“He can be really funny and think of fun things to do.
He got the idea once to go to a water park which was really fun.
My Dad also tells cheesy jokes; they’re funny, but really cheesy.
He also cooks really well. He grills hotdogs and hamburgers that are really good.”
