What am I doing with my daughter at home?Rather thanread aloud from books,we go to dinner and have a very good time．This is usually when her Morn isn't around,and this is when my little girl and I relate better．They're alone together so much．We're seldom alone．When we're alone together,she and I somehow behave differently．We learn about each other．She learns that I'm her father．I learn that she's my daugh ter．It's a strange feeling,but any parent knows what I'm talking about when I say that I often look at my daughter and wonder just whose kid she is．Where'd she suddenly come from?And why on earth did she pick Laura and me for parents?
When my daughter and I are alone she'll hold my hand and say,“I just love you so much,Daddy!”She's so used to my leaving that when I tell her she and I are going to hang out all night,she gets this great look on her face and says,“We've got So much to do,Dad!”There's nothing like it in the world．
I want my relationship with my daughter to keep growing,so I've been giving my wife a couple of hundred dollars each week and making her go to the shopping center with her girlfriends,or something-anything!
But this closeness is not without its problems．When I'm sitting there playing with her Barbie doll（芭比娃娃）,washing her hair,a voice in me suddenly says,“I've got to get a drink and get out of here．”Right in the middle of all this pleasantness,the voice goes,“Look at yourself!You're washingdolls!”
