[road trip]
DAUGHTER: I have to use the bathroom.
ME: *pulls into rest stop*
DAUGHTER: Thanks.
ME: Make sure you’re back in 5 minutes.
DAUGHTER: I will.
ME: We accidentally left your brother behind once.
DAUGHTER: I don’t have a brother.
ME: Exactly.
Sounds like something I would have said to my kids when they were little. I once broke up a fight between two of them (brothers) by separating them to different sides of the room, waiting a moment, and then dropping my arm between them like a fight referee and shouting "FIGHT TO THE DEATH!"
They both stopped and stared at me with big eyes and basically said, "Dad, it's not that serious." To which I said, "Good, now that you both understand that, what's the problem?" 😂
