Daddy Patrol

Connor and Cody's Daddy Wish List:

1) Must not be too old–like Grandpa.

2) Must like 'rithmetic–to help with homework.

3) Must like baseball–a lot!

Five-year-old twins Connor and Cody Maguire were as mischievous as their red hair and freckles indicated. If their latest scheme worked, they'd finally have the father they'd always wanted and their mom could stop worrying about them. The boys had the perfect candidate picked out: Sheriff Joe Marino. Not only did Joe meet their requirements, but he also liked kissing their mother, Mattie. Eeeew! Now all Connor and Cody had to do was convince their mom that Joe would make a great dad and husband!
