He lightly pushed the swing.
“Higher, Daddy! Higher!
A big push had her squealing in delight. But this seat wasn’t as comfortable for a newly punished butt, so it wasn’t long until she wanted off.
“Daddy, off! Please!”
He undid her seat and lifted her out. She raced off to the slide.
“Be careful,” he warned. “That’s quite high.”
“Don’t worry, Daddy. I’m really good at the slide.”
“Are you?”
“Uh-huh. I like to go to the top and think about stuff. But not today. We’re too busy.”
She slid down with a squeal. To her surprise, he moved to the bottom to catch her.
It was totally sweet if completely unnecessary.
Next, she raced over to the merry-go-round.
“Stop running, you’ll hurt yourself,” he grumbled.
Poor Grumpy Bear, he was so protective. She pushed the merry-go-round, spinning with a laugh. She spun and spun until she thought she might be sick. When she got off, she stumbled around.
Gray quickly grabbed her. “Little girl, you made yourself dizzy.”
“Just a bit, Daddy. Can I go again?” she asked once the world stopped spinning. “That was so much fun!”
“Absolutely not.”
“But, Daddy—”
“No. And no pouting.”
“I don’t pout.”
He tapped her bottom lip, which was poking out. Drat. Silly thing had a mind of its own.
“Come, you need to go potty and then we’ll go to the play area before we leave.”
“Daddy, it’s a bathroom or toilet. Not a potty.”
He looked unimpressed at her correcting him.
“And I don’t have to go.”
“Don’t you?”
She took a second to take stock. Drat.
“All right. I do have to go. How do you know these things? Are you some sort of wizard like Immy said?”
“No, I’m just a Daddy who knows his girl well.”
“Huh. Okay, I mean, it’s not as exciting as being a wizard, but I suppose it’s still a super power of sorts.” She made her voice go all stern and deep. “I’m Daddy Grumpy Bear and I have the power of knowing when my Little girl has to pee. Yeah, it’s not flying or invisibility.”
