Return of the king

Category: At Home

From the kitchen, we hear the bedroom door open. "Woo hoo, daddy's up!" yells Nathan as he charges up the stairs to greet his father.

"Daddy's awake! My daddy's awake!" screams Lucie as she runs after her brother.

I'm amazed at the pandemonium generated by Paul as he leaves our bedroom. After eight days away on a business trip, his arrival at the breakfast table is treated like a visit from a rock star. Knowing that it'll be business as usual tomorrow, I just hope that he's soaking up his children's adulation. (He is.)

Me, I'm just glad that I'm not the subject of all the noise and screaming. It's way too early in the morning for that sort of thing.
