Son: 'Dad, why do you write books if nobody reads them?'
Me: 'People read them, son.'
Son: 'Mom said she tried but fell asleep.'
Me: 'It's... literature. It's challenging.'
Son: 'Grandma said she uses yours to level the table.'
Me: 'She's old.'
Son: 'The dog buries them.'
Me: '...'
Son: 'Is that why you cry in the shower?'
Me: 'Finish your homework.'
Son: 'At least my homework gets graded.'
Son drew picture of daddy at work.
Daddy at computer. Very detailed. Even the coffee cup.
Teacher: "Why is daddy crying?"
Son, matter-of-fact: "The words are bad again."
Teacher looks at me during pickup. I have no defense.
Son: "The cursor was angry too. It kept blinking."
