Jocelyn's Daddy-Daughter date

For the last couple of years, I started taking the older two on special "daddy daughter dates" for their birthdays. Just the two of us, and they get to call the shots. They get to select whatever they want for our activities that afternoon & evening. Usually it consists of shopping, movie, and dinner, but that's entirely up to them. I get dressed up in nice clothes and a tie, they get in to one of their new outfits/dresses and I show them how a gentleman treats a lady. Usually I "pick" them by ringing the front door with flowers, greeting them and talking to their mother. The night consists of me opening doors for them, paying for everything and conversating with only them the entire evening.

Last night was Jocelyn's "daddy daughter date". She decided to go shopping at Target, then to a movie, and then dinner at Red Robin. Some of my favorite quotes on the night.......

While driving to Target....
Me:  "Joc, what do you want to get at Target?"
Jocelyn: "I don't know, we can just walk around and we'll find something."
Me: "Your mother has trained you well. The shopping force is strong with you."

While driving home from the night while we were taking turns yawning back and forth....
Me: "Joc, maybe I should just pull the car over and we can both take a nap."
Jocelyn: "Or, maybe I could drive. Well, wait. Surely, if I drive, I'll get a ticket, or even worse crash into everything. So I would just pull the car sideways so we could take a nap."
Me: "Good thing we're almost to Grandma's house"
