Not a Creep

Yesterday I had an hour to kill, so I did what you do:  I went to H&M and Old Navy to look for pants for my daughter.  She’s 12 now with legs that are 80 feet long, so all of her pants are too short and WINTER IS COMING.  

My main goal when shopping in the girl’s section is to seem like I’m not a creep.  That’s the vibe I hope to send out:  "I’m not a creep.“  Unfortunately, that is probably *exactly* the vibe creeps try to send out.

It might be my imagination, but I just think that the women shopping near me are a little suspicious of me being in their section.  Little do they know that I am actually being a *great dad.* Feel bad now?

When my daughter was little, I went to "Mommy & Me” classes, I changed diapers and the rest of it.  I used to be much more immune to feeling out of place, the only dad in a bunch of moms.  No big whoop.  But as my daughter has gotten older, I’ve grown rusty.  Anyway, being a dad these days is about normalizing crap like this.  Dads gotta get out there and do this stuff!  They gotta shop for pants!  Wouldn’t it be great to see many more men in the women’s clothing section?
