hey drive us crazy, they tuck us in, they play catch in the yard and teach us to drive. But most of all, they love us unconditionally, even when we screw up (and we do). This week, Keys Weekly pays tribute to the men who undertake the most important job in the world — fatherhood.
JIMMY ROBINSON Father to Baby Elenie (rhymes with Melanie) Best advice you’ve ever gotten from any dad? Be present and enjoy every minute. They grow up fast! Proudest dad moment thus far? I’m proud of every moment; it’s tough to choose just one. I don’t remember what we were doing, but the first time she smiled at me was a pretty special moment. Best dad joke you’ve told or heard? When does a joke turn into a dad joke? When it becomes apparent.
TERRY WORTHING Father to Fenway Best advice you’ve ever gotten from any dad? Try your best with your kid all the time and give them your time, even when you don’t feel like it. Proudest dad moment thus far?Watching Fenway want to help others. Best dad joke you’ve told or heard? How did Darth Vader know what Luke got him for Christmas? He felt his presents.
DEREK EPPERLY Father to Dash and Hope Best advice you’ve ever gotten from any dad? Pick your battles; there will be plenty. Proudest dad moment thus far? The first time my son hugged his sister and told her to have a good day at school. (Very rare.) Best dad joke you’ve told or heard? What did the dad buffalo say to his son when he left for school? Bison.
CHAS SPOTTSWOOD Father to Charles, Jackson & Dekker Best advice you’ve ever gotten from any dad? Never turn down a game of catch. Proudest dad moment thus far? My son Charles’ piano recital. Best dad joke you’ve told or heard? What kind of bees make honey? Boo bees (My kids think that one’s hilarious.)
