Awww.O.k., I’m a little verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves. (Sniffle)
SusanSunshine Premium Member about 13 years ago
Me too, Arianne.
Just accept it, Gene, and be grateful.
It’s quite a compliment, to be accepted into the role played in her Mom’s life by her beloved Pop.
She can always adapt the name later, if she needs to — “Poppy” is kind of nice.
James Lindley Premium Member about 13 years ago
It’s her way of accepting you as her dad Gene. Like Susan said, accept it. It’s a good thing.

Trust me on this the only thing that will top this Gene is the first time she says “I love you” The first time I heard my step son say that was one of the most amazing moments in my entire life.

When my daughter (school age) suddenly tried Poppy, I called her Dopey. She laughed and went back to Daddy.

Reminder to adopt after the wedding. And to the nay sayers, many marriages fail. tough shit, the love of a child can be everlasting, your own or not. LOVE IS
StoicLion1973 about 13 years ago
This strip is so sweet I added it to my personal collection, which, coincidentally, included an earlier A&J strip that featured Gene & Meg interacting. BTW, I think joe has a good idea about adoption.
