Me: “How was your day at school?”
Danger Monkey, age 8: “Fine.”
Me: “Did you learn anything today?”
DM: “I learned two things. First, never jump backwards off a swing. Second, if you are bleeding you should hold that body part above your heart.”
Me: (slow blink) “Just try to make it to age nine, OK?”
DM: “OK. I’ll try.”
Wonderful Wife: “Kids, we’re all going to bed. Everyone go to the bathroom right now.”
Danger Monkey, age 8: “I don’t have to go yet.”
Little Miss Thing: “I don’t want to.”
WW: “OK, then Daddy will go first.”
Kids, running: “We’ll go now!”

Danger Monkey, age 8: “Hey let’s play Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock. You have to start at level one.”
Me: “So you turned it into an RPG?”
DM: “You are a Level One Rock. Your next upgrade is to meteor, where you get a bonus attack.”
Me: “These are tears of joy, son.”
Geeky Dad is so proud.
