A BEAUTIFUL MOMENT AT STEAK AND SHAKE

The other day I took Austin out for lunch for his birthday. He was allowed to order anything he wanted and any size milkshake his little 10 year old heart desired. Later, 2 men and 4 little girls came in and sat down behind us. We were sitting so close that you could easily hear their conversation. I almost laughed out loud when I heard expressions like the following from the dads. "No..you cannot eat the paper, no...you cannot take your shoes and socks off in public... I am assuming that this was a special father and daughter outing. The little girls ranged in age from 2 to 5. Once everyone settled in at their table...I almost cried when I heard the following conversation between the dads and their daughters. "You are so beautiful...you are my little princess...you are so special to me sweetheart." I thought to myself...what great men. They are using their time to invest in their daughters. They are showing them, at a young age, how they should be treated by men. They have set the bar high for their little girls. I wanted to go over and say something to them...but I didn't. They were both a great example of how dads need to treat their daughters. Then it made me think...what should I be saying to my sons. I want them to become men...like the ones at steak and shake.
