Something similar happened just a couple of days ago. My daughters reading teacher asked what all of there favorite books were. My daughter explained that it was my book. Her teacher thought that that was neat and asked her to bring the book in so she did the next day.
Now don't get me wrong I am not delusional enough to think that I am one of the great authors or anything like that. But it means a lot to me that my daughter shows that kind of love and respect for me.
Now I guess the pressure is on to be the kind of man that deserves that kind of respect.
