 
One day, Daddy made coffee. He said it makes him feel dependable. Mommy was curious and asked him why it mattered so much. Daddy smiled and said, “We need to be dependable so I can take care of you.” 
The next day, Daddy made coffee again. He said, “Let’s see what else I can do with this dependable cup of coffee.” He pulled out a book and started writing something in it. Mommy was curious again, so she asked Daddy what he was writing. He said it was a story about them and how he can always be dependable when taking care of Mommy and the family.
The day after that, Daddy made coffee once more. Mommy knew something special was about to happen and dad was about to show her what he had written. He started to read a story about their adventures and how he was there to make the family feel secure and dependable. 
Mommy was touched! Dad had been making coffee in the morning so he could write this special story to show his family how dependable he was. She gave him a big hug, and they all enjoyed the cup of coffee together.
