Nice Move, Son

"What are we having for supper tonight?"

- "We'll figure that out when we get home. How about cold cereal?"

"Daddy, DADDY! I have to go potty! I have to go potty REALLY BAD!"

(beat)

"Look! There's Spaghetti Factory! Did you know that Spaghetti Factory has bathrooms? Did you know that!? I really have to go potty, Daddy."

I drove in silence. And then laughter; laughing with pride. 

"Someday, son. Someday."
