Dad and Walmart Barbie Galoshes

Our home is the land of women. I have three girls' and a female dog and I if did some investigating and disecting I bet our fish are girls too! Our house is full of dolls, lip smackers; bracelets, hair bands; barbies, stuffed animals; princess dress-up, and pretty ponies. My husband is surrounded by girl fights and emotional outbursts that seem to come out of nowhere. He tries to ignore our estrogen banter and OPI nail polish manicures with his Call of Duty Warfare, Top Gear viewing, and any sporting event that may remind him that there is testosterone out there somewhere.

We stopped by Wal-Mart the other night to pick up a few random things that we needed around the house. We came across a display of galoshes. Galoshes in Utah is not the most practical considering our rainfall amounts are minimal to say the least. Most people use them to work in their gardens in this area. My three year old had received a pair of galoshes from her great grandmother Hope last year for christmas. First of all Makenzie Loves shoes! She will wear several pairs throughout the day. Her Barbies are always naked but they always have shoes on. She compliments other children on their footwear. She saw a shoe display in Dillards that made her utter the words, "aaaahhhhh". She Loves shoes! Anyways; so we see this display of galoshes and I mention Makenzie would love a new pair of galoshes. We began to look through the display and my husband soon finds the perfect one.

They are pink, black,white with polka dots with Barbie logos on them. Adrian announces these are the ones and puts them in the cart. He pulled them out of the sack when we got home and put them by her door so that was the first thing she saw when she got up in the morning. When she opened her bedroom door this morning there was a squeal of delight as she saw her new shoes. She has worn them all morning and she loves them!

I remember a quote that said, "Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad." It has to be hard to be a father to three girls but a really good dad would know his little girl would love those Barbie galoshes. My girls' are lucky to have someone that special to call their dad.
