Pancake-Making Papa
Patti told her husband that “it’s the best time, it’s when they need you the most. They’re different in the morning than at any other time of day, and if you don’t get up to see it, well then…you’re gonna miss it.’” The next day, the rock star woke up at 7:00 am, groggy and not in a good mood, and made his way downstairs to where his children were waiting for their breakfast.
When he told his wife that he had no idea how to make pancakes, she simply told him to learn. He found a pancake recipe and, after some time, became something of a pancake-making pro. Springsteen later said how feeding your children is a “great act of intimacy.”
