Danger Monkey, age 9: “I don’t like tofu.”
Me: “You love edamame, and tofu is just edamame that’s been mushed up into bars. Plus there are peanuts and peppers and broccoli… you won’t even notice the tofu.”
DM: “I guess I’ll try it.”

Me: “Well, you’re eating it pretty fast. What’s your favorite part?”
DM: “The tofu.”
9 year old boy: “WHOA… your Dad is a GIANT.”
Danger Monkey, age 9: “Yeah. It’s not really a big deal.”
Boy: “Uhhh… it’s literally a big deal.”
DM: “You get used to it.”
Me: (through bathroom door) “Glad you’re enjoying your long bath. Time to wash your hair.”
Danger Monkey, age 9: “No, hair washing comes at the end.”
Me: “Yes. This is the end.”
DM: “It feels more like the middle.”
Me: “End.”
DM: “Now I’ll never know how long it takes to turn into a dolphin.”
Me: “There’s always tomorrow night.”
