Pretty in pink!
Phillip and Exandra
Today as I sat waiting for my flight to leave, a young man boarded the plane wearing the pink- piggy- neck rest you see in this picture. As he stored his belongings, he removed his jacket to reveal that he was also wearing a hot pink shirt. I’m no fashion maven but this is a combination I had never seen before. Evidently it was uncommon to the rest of the cabin as his appearance drew several sidelong glances.
I love being around people like our flight attendant. No glances for her, she just jumped in and asked about his choice of wardrobe for the day. She ask a direct question and got a direct answer. I found out that the man’s name is Phillip and he has a precocious little five year old daughter named Skylar. Phillip told the flight attendant that his daughter, Skylar, named the pink- piggy -neck rest, Exandra! He was transporting “Exandra” back home and Skylar ask him to please wear it and to please wear a pink shirt to match Exandra’s color. When Phillip asked his daughter if he had to wear it all the time she responded, “Of course!” Phillip told me that during the swine flew crisis “Exandra” traveled wearing a one of those protective white hospital masks over her pink nose and mouth. After meeting “Exandra” and Phillip, I can tell you this.
Exandra rides first class!
Phillip is a very Good daddy!
Skylar is a very lucky little girl!
I just wish I had been there when he went through security!!!!

- Have you seen Ken's latest DVD? Ken Davis is "Under the Influence" but it is not what you think! Recorded live in two sold-out shows, this may have been Ken's best performance yet. The entire family will love this DVD! Check it out »
Great Story I teared up
Thanks for sharing! I love seeing fathers like phillip!
The eye of the photographer, something that moved you emotionally, and pen of the ready writer. Thanks again for DCW.
…let’s see
…what would be the best color for Ken Davis?
…and how about a boa constrictor neck rest, say in lime green and glowing purple with an orange speedo…on the neck thing…not you, Mr. Davis
…loved the story
LOVE THIS, Thanks for sharing. Love Dad’s who love their children and will do these kind of things just to show how important they are.
Haha… what a wonderful story. Had a good laugh with that. I doubt any South African would go out in public looking like that! It’s just funny. I had a box of grapes with me at the airport once, you should have seen the stares i got with that… so just imagine Pink Piggy in SA!! haha. Love your comedy Ken!!
KEN,
Thank you for that wonderful story I wonder how many christians was setting in judgement before knowing the facts.

This man is my hero. First because he had the nerve to wear my FAVORITE color in public. Second, because he is such an amazing daddy!
Great story. Anybody can be a dad but, it takes someone special like Phillip to be a Daddy.
I wish I had been a better dad! I was way to interested in career. I am trying to do it differently with my grandchildren.
