Best

My recent bedtime reading is Confessions of the World’s Best Father by Dave Engledow.

Strictly speaking, it is not a book, but a handy hard-cover collection of funny photos that Engledow took for her daughter Alice Bee. It’s meant to be irony and most of the pictures show a careless father torturing or neglecting his lovely daughter. Here and there you could find Alice Bee playing with knives, fire, electric socket, or sipping liquor – while Engledow just sits there and enjoys his coffee.

However, on a second thought, he was a good daddy. Jen, Alice’s mother, is busy at work and hardly ever appears in the book. Engledow does spend a good deal of time with his daughter – and that’s all about parenthood.

PS. Believe it or not, the book is my Father’s Day present. On it, my princesses write From the world’s best daughters.

I would hardly doubt.
