Be Prepared

(The boy climbs into the car)

Me: “We’re just going into town to pick up some things. Why did you run back into the house?”

Danger Monkey, age 9: “I almost forgot my dice. I have a special pocket in my fleece just for my dice bag and some pencils in case anyone ever wants to play D&D.”

Me: … (sniff)

DM: “Daddy, are you crying?”

Do-Over

Me: “How is that pizza place still in business?”

My Oldest, age 15: “Well, I like it.”

Me: “No, seriously, it’s horrible. Unless you enjoy eating overly garlicked grease drizzled over stale doughy crust.”

Oldest: “Exactly. It’s delicious.”

Me: “Consider yourself disowned.”

Oldest: “Maybe my new family will have better taste in pizza.”

Worst EVAR

WORST INFORMATION AGE EVER.
