god that was weird, I had to call Daycare back about something. I called and introduced myself with full name. They go "Who sorry?" I repeat, a few seconds of silence and I go "I'm X's Dad" "Ooooooh, X's dad, hang on a second I'll find who called you". I think its the first time I've said I'm someone's dad out loud. it has a very sobering effect.
