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."
