Munchkins with Dad
Sometime in April, Ashwini’s school hosted a breakfast for Dads called “Donuts with Dads”. It was followed this month by a breakfast for Moms called “Muffins with Moms”. Adit was miffed that his preschool didn’t have such breakfast with parent event. So, I decided to take him to “Dunkin’ Donuts” on the way to school when V went with Ashwini to her school breakfast.
Ashwini: Adit, I am going to have Muffins with Mom and you get to have Donuts with Dad.
Adit: No, I am going to have Munchkins with Dad. I don’t want donuts.
Ashwini: No, you must have donuts with Dad.
Adit: But, I don’t like donuts. I want munchkins with Dad.
Ashwini: But, that doesn’t rhyme. It has to donuts with Dad. D and D… get it? You can have munchkins with Mom.
Adit: No. I am going to have munchkins with Dad.
This went on for a few rounds and ended in both of them crying before we got into our respective cars and drove away.
At Dunkin’ Donuts, Adit made sure that he got 5 munchkins and chocolate milk. It was good fun chatting with him over breakfast as I got to hear some interesting things. Here are a couple of them…
- Drew has a pink comb. I think it is Emily’s but, he uses it too.
- Madi doesn’t come to school anymore and I don’t get to play with her. So, now I just stick to the other girls.
- Drinking all the milk is making me grow fast. Can you believe how fast I am growing? My hand gets bigger every 5 seconds and my whole body gets bigger every 10 seconds.

I think it was awesome that you took him for the “dad-aadit” special given that he felt he was missing out on something. Very thoughtful. Good going, dad!
