splatters fly up,
hot sun melts all around you,
still you fight and win
dogged determined,
no detail left uncovered,
flawless sacrifice
14 hours of hard labor,
and still gives a bedtime tale,
no wonder you're the dad

Evy is staying up late keeping his dad company while he finishes up some cleaning. This is what I heard as I went off to bed.
Evy: (shows Dad his 2nd piece of chocolate that Mom just handed him)
Dad: Oh, wow! You've had a lucky day. You are eating chocolate, and you got to go to Chick-fil-A.
Evy: And I get to hang out with YOU! I love spending time with you, Dad.
