Oh cool, I like contests. I am going to ask my daughter tonight what she would say. On both questions, lol.

Do we just simply post the answers right here in this thread, or send it to you?

Congrats, Paul! Fatherhood is a whole new world. My entry:

Years Being a Dad: 4

How Many Munchkins: 1 daughter, the light of my life.

Why I Am A Good Dad: I listen to what she has to say, watch TV and play games with her, and encourage her independant thinking, even if it means we have a difference of opinion.

Why Sometimes I Am Not Such a Good Dad: I've taught her how to sing "My Sharona", which she is thrilled to do at all family gatherings. I have utterly corrupted her by making her a sports fan.

[Edhoru]

Years being a Dad: 5 and a half months
How many munchkins: 1 (we want two more)
Why am I a good Dad: Just watch the picture below
Why sometimes I an not so good of a Dad: Too much work, i can't be with him all the time i want.
