"Breakfast" In Bed

This year for Father's Day, I decided that I want to surprise Daddy with breakfast in bed (I read about it in one of my books). One problem. Daddy isn't going to be home for Father's Day this year. He's on a golf trip this weekend.

Mommy had a good idea. She said we can still give him breakfast in bed, it just has to be on a different day. We decided to surprise Daddy with Father's Day breakfast in bed, LAST NIGHT! Isn't that funny?!

When Daddy came home, I took him upstairs and tucked him into bed. He was confused. Then I asked him if he'd like a glass of red or white wine. That perked him up, he was a little surprised and said he'd like red. I suggested a "pinot something or other" and he said that sounded great. Mommy helped me open and pour the wine then we carried it upstairs together so Daddy could drink it in bed and read some magazines while I helped Mommy in the kitchen.


The menu I chose for Daddy was omelets, croissants, orange juice and milk. I helped Mommy crack the eggs, stir them up and sprinkle the omelet filling into the pan. She added a salad to the plate (yuk!) because she said we needed to include something healthy and a lot of fried up mushrooms because Daddy likes mushrooms. I told her none of that stuff for me, please. Mommy ate the same thing as Daddy but for me, she made my favourite way to eat eggs -- with sesame oil, soy sauce and rice. I also got a croissant because they're one of my favourite things to eat. The trays were really heavy so Mommy helped me carry them upstairs.



We all ate our dinner in bed with Daddy. I tried really hard to be careful and didn't spill anything. After dinner, oops, I mean breakfast, I gave Daddy the card and art I made for him at school and the gift that I bought with Mommy.


Eating in bed was fun! I think Daddy liked his surprise. I want to do this every year on Father's Day.
