Being a dad

So, I was thinking of those coffee mugs you see in gift shops that read "Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad."

Specifically, I was thinking this in the three seconds when it became clear that Lily was going to throw up on me, and while she was doing it. And she was so upset about it, so I was like, "It's okay. Your body couldn't help it. I don't mind" in my most soothing voice while she was barfing on me.
