Briana Belser and Mike Gauyo, “My Little Girl and I”

This is from the show Ginny and Georgia and I don’t know I’ve ever felt a more concise experience of fatherhood.

My little girl and I, we go camping and roast marshmallows.

She gets sticky fingers.

“Dad, I want you to clean them.”

So I do.

My little girl and I, we hike the Grand Canyon. She gets tired.

“Dad, I want you to carry me.”

So I do.

My little girl and I, we have this game called Magic Carpet Ride, and I zoom her up and around and down.

And, “Dad, do Magic Carpet Ride again!” So I do. “Dad, do Magic Carpet Ride again!” So I do. “Dad, do Magic Carpet Ride again!” So I do, I do, I do!

My little girl isn’t so little anymore.

She wants to do it herself.

“Dad, you don’t know what you’re talking about.” “Dad, you don’t get it.” “Dad, be cool.”

My little girl is growing up.

What does she need her dad for?

“Dad, I want you to stay around.”

So I do.
