Danger Monkey, age 10: “This math problem is really frustrating.”

Me: “Can I help you with it?”

DM: “No, it’s OK. I understand the math, but the story problem is all wrong.”

Me: “Those can be tough.”

DM: “There’s no way 15 kids chose Fettuccine Alfredo over pizza or tacos.”

Me: (long pause)

Me: “I’m so glad I get to be your Dad.”
