What? Since when does he ditch me to go and play with some kid down the street? And to make it worse, she’s a girl! He’s only 5. Surely he should still hate girls until he’s at least 11.
If you’re a parent of a young child let me warn you that there comes a time in your life when you become nothing more than chopped liver. And just like real liver, it tastes pretty awful.
On the bright side, I did get a few minutes of quality time with my wife. At least she still likes me. Well, sometimes.
