Dave's Dancing With Fairies

Words by Dave Gleeson

Just got back home from dropping my little girl off at school. I really have got the best job in the world. Although it takes me away for extended periods, it also means that when I am off the road, I get to do the whole father thing, from getting Bella's brekky ready to dancing to the fairies, to watching Dora the Explorer and dressing up as Shrek.

My other mates who have fulltime jobs, have very little time at the beginning and end of the day to play and interact with their kids, and I am constantly thankful that My life has followed the path it has.

Having said that, come September, we will be back on the road full on, and that means we will all (most of the guys have kids of varying ages) be missing our little ones and missuses as we rock this great nation once again.

So dads and mums, live it up and play and interact with your kids every chance you get. It really is the greatest gift we can give to our little tackers.

As for the fairy dancing, I would probably be a little bit embarrassed if footage of it got out, but nowhere near as embarrassed as that Jess chick from the Veronicas is.

Rockon! Gleeso

P.S. The footy is ready and waiting for little Jimmy as soon as he can walk. I think he's gonna play for the Crows.......
