My Daddy the Duke — Judy Christenberry

He's my dad -- the World's Most Eligible Bachelor!

Ever since Grandma, the dowager duchess, told everyone on TV that my dad was in America looking for a wife, unmarried ladies chase him everywhere. We're trying to get to my uncle's ranch, but now we're hiding out. Those women can be rough on a guy!

My dad is real cute...I can tell when Sydney looks at him. She's the nice lady who gave us a lift. My daddy says we can't tell Sydney he's a duke. I like pretend, but I sure wish Sydney knew. Maybe then she'd want to marry my dad and be my new mommy!

Ever hopeful,
Penny
