Danger Monkey, age 9: “Hey, did you know I can use The Force?”
Little Miss Thing, age 7: “You can? Really?”
DM: “Yeah, watch.” (licks his palm and starts moving it toward her face)
LMT: “Aaaagh!!!” (runs away)
DM: (chuckles) “I told you!”
… moments later …
DM: “Hey, Dad. Did you know I can use The Force?”
Me: “Sorry, doesn’t work on Dads.”
DM: (licks both palms, moves toward my face) “Look… I’m using The Force!”
Me: (blank stare)
DM: (touches my face with spit hands) “But… you didn’t move.”
Me: “I told you. I’ve wiped your butt, which is much worse. Also, I had a little brother, so I’m immune to most sibling torture methods.”
DM: (slow blink)
DM: “Hey, Mom…”
Me: (groaning)
Danger Monkey, age 9: “Why are your muscles so sore?”
Me: “I lifted a lot of weights at the gym last night, remember?”
DM: “My muscles don’t get sore like that.”
Me: “You’re young. And mine don’t hurt nearly as much as I thought they would.”
DM: “Why not?”
Me: “Maybe I’m more in shape than I thought.”
DM: “No, that can’t be it.”
Me: (glaring)
