"I felt so 'white' today.

Before we adopted my daughter I would have had NO idea what she was doing with that toothbrush in her hair.

But now I know.

I walked into the bathroom today as she was getting ready for soccer and saw this.

And without batting an eyelash I said:

'Callie... how long till you're done with that 'edge tamer' because we have to get going.'

I just couldn't help but chuckle.

A 60 year old white dude talking about 'edge tamer' with his daughter.

I know I talk about adoption a lot.

Maybe too much at times.

But it's moments like this that I like love.

If it wasn't for my daughter, I would have never heard of things like 'edge tamer.'

She's helped open my eyes to a whole different world out there .

Because of her, I see things from a different perspective.

And I think that's made me a better person.

I love every minute of it.

Okay not EVERY minute.

But you get what I mean...

Hahaha"
