As a Dad myself, missing Dad's day for my own son because I am taking part in Dad's day elsewhere as an object of amusement...let's just say I think my son would have got more out of me being there for him, than any individual kid/dad combo would have got out of me this morning. Not to say that best effort was not made - far from it. Took an awful lot of experience to keep chats going with completely non-English speaking dads/kids and then managing to change up when some could participate & not make myself look/sound like a brain donor.
Managed a long train of expectant, camera-toting dads in varying degrees of casual dress (long underwear beneath shorts with sandals? Are you for real?) and off-spring dangling in many varied degrees of comfort with lesser-spotted parent.
The song & dance routines went fabulously - I have done this before, and fallen flat on my face so often! Ham it up, must include parents, make mistakes for giggles and get the whole room romping. And then do it again faster when they think they've survived. Some kids actually crying in pain from laughter.
My work is done.
And Head/Shoulders is still a sackable offence at my school!
