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!”
#ParentingWin
Sitting on couch, kids off in the woods somewhere.
Front door opens and tiny neighbor girl walks by, heading deeper into the house.
Me: “Can I help you?”
Tiny Neighbor Girl: “No. I’m just going to the bathroom.”
Me: “OK.”
My Wonderful Wife: “I have always wanted to be that house in the neighborhood where all the kids just wander in.”
Me: “Me, too!”
#Winning #ThoseParents
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.
