“Okay, sure, but how about when you tell Mom what you had for lunch, you don’t call it a ‘veggie-less sandwich.’”

Kid: “Hey, Dad, I can tell you something about your brain.”

Me: “Oh yeah, what?”

Kid: “The hippocampus is the part of the brain that stores the stuff you learn.”

Me: “…and where did you hear that?”

Kid: “At school. They teach you that in the first grade.”

7/9ths of the Glass Museum Board of Directors in the house for The Ruth & James Ewing Arts Awards.

We won in the Presenter of the Arts category.

Here is a video highlighting our exploits:

My kid, watching kids in the town summer program:

“Why are they standing around staring up at the flag? Oh, that man is asking them questions about America and guys who are already dead.”

My kid’s getting some snow day screen time while Mia’s out for a couple of hours and I’m working. His requests are becoming more specific:

• A movie
• A movie about dolphins
• A movie about dolphins based on a true story (not made up).
• A move about dolphins (bottlenose ONLY) based on a true story (not made up).

It’s like living with a tiny Darth Vader.

Thank goodness Amazon Prime Video has dolphin documentaries…

Kid: “Dad, I recommend you take a nap.”

Me: 🕵🏻‍♂️ “…Why…?” 🕵🏻‍♂️

Foghat: “🎵Slow ride, take it easy 🎵”

Malcolm: “This guy is NOT taking it easy.”

Me: “No?”

Malcolm: “Evidently not. He is yelling!”

“I’m not fine. I’m only fine when I can eat ice cream every day.”
