Parenting is like a rollercoaster. And at times, the unexpected nature of your child’s questions or requests might catch you off guard. But the truth is, we would move mountains to get the best for our kids, even if that means a dad getting a sleeve of temporary tattoos (that he has to wear all day) or a tough guy having his toenails painted pink by his daughter.
