ZZZZZZ… The sound of my dad as he rests in bed early in the morning
playing his phone.
Then suddenly he walks down the stairs, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP. Oh no it’s
only 7:30 and he’s going to make me get out of bed. Good morning Skye he
says.
I said back to him “Aren’t you going to tell me to get up.”
“NO,” he said "because I’m the best dad in the world."
“Yes,” I yelled. The whole caravan park could hear me, it was so
embarrassing.
The next day it was Father’s Day but this time I went to him and woke
dad up at 7:30. I gave him his present then we both went to the pool
together.
