My Oldest, age 13: “I’m so glad you’re finally here to pick me up. It’s been like two weeks and I totally left my favorite bra and sweater at your house. Also, I mean… I love you very much. But mainly this is about the bra and sweater.”

Winning
I cannot even count all the win.
Dinner out with the two littlest kids while wife is at a thing.
First, they insist we go to a Chinese buffet (win).
Then they ask for Black Sabbath, by name, as driving music (win).
Then they both get seconds on veggies without prompting (win).
Then they quiz each other with math word problems for fun over dinner (winning!).
I may be the luckiest dad… Ever.
My Witness
My Wonderful Wife: “Did you brush your teeth?”
Little Miss Thing, age 5: “Yes.”
WW: “Good. Let me smell your breath.”
LMT: “… No.”
WW: “Seriously. Let me smell your breath.”
LMT: “I think I forgot to rinse. I’ll go do that now.” (runs off)
WW: “I cross examine witnesses all day and never realized it was a parenting skill.”
