When my daughter was 3, we went to the Rogue River for a Marathon Race. I wasn't racing that year but had friends that were. There was a show and shine before the race and we were cruising around checking it out.
We came up on some Sprint boats that were going to be running an exhibition and the owner/driver saw my daughter checking out the boat and asked if she wanted to sit in the drivers seat. We set her in it (little 15' aluminum jet was cute as hell) as she sat there looking proud as can be she was looking around. Looks up at us and says "I need the keys!". Everybody within earshot was cracking up.
That's pretty much the proudest moment in a dad's life right there.
I should add, she is now a senior in college.
