Whether we like it or not, most of us have some sort of to-do list to get through the day. We’d love to just leisurely float through with an unlimited bank account and tons of fun, but that’s not real life. Kids don’t quite get the responsibility that adults are taxed with and would prefer their parents to just have fun.
Matt Ward and his wife, Rachael, share two daughters and a long list of things that have to get done. Rachael told Newsweek she bought a dry-erase board to help the couple manage the tasks, but their two daughters, Katie, 10, and Emily, 7, had a different idea.
The girls swiped the dry-erase board and replaced it with a to-do list of their own for the dad. He was instructed to, “Be a happy daddy, do daddy things, get cupcakes, a small arrow below also instructed ‘for no reason’, and be very, very funny!”
Matt told Newsweek, “When it showed up, my wife started making it my normal to-do list, and then they [his daughters] saw it and asked if they could make it their own version of a to-do list for me.”
He Posted A Picture To Reddit, And People Fell In Love With The To-Do List
His post in the MadeMeSmile sub has 7,4000 upvotes. It’s hard not to smile at the sweet requests.
The message from his girls tugged at some heartstrings. Like this person, “I’m crying buckets over here. My husband died in January and he left myself, and our two kids. My daughter (7) talks about him all the time and she misses him.”
“‘Be a happy Daddy’ Your kids sound adorable and boy do they love you! It’s beautiful. You’re so lucky!
This person had a warning for Matt, “I don’t know who you are … I don’t know where you live … But if you don’t buy her cupcakes, i will find you … AND GIFT YOU CUPCAKES MYSELF!”
Matt, we’re with the girls. Grab the cupcakes and tell the jokes, work can wait.
