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

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…?” 🕵🏻‍♂️

I don’t know how long I can keep up this charade. I’m living a lie.

My son has adamantly stated that he wants the game “Wow Pop” from Santa for Christmas. This is something that is entirely a figment of his imagination. But, I still catch myself starting to Google for it as though it was a real thing that actually exists.
