Daddy Quote by Jamie McGuire

“Hi, Daddy.” “Baby . . . did you find some trouble today?” “It wasn’t my fault, Daddy.” “It never is.” “Jay was bleeding. He was pinned down.” My blood boiled, but steering my kids in the right direction came first. “What did Papa say?” “He said, ‘It’s about time someone humbled Steven Matese.” quote by Jamie McGuire
