An Inappropriate Parenting Tidbit
Scene from an asylum
After school the other day I had the following exchange with my seven-year-old daughter.
Me: How was school?
Daughter: Good! We read about Stuart Little during literacy time, and when he got in trouble at home, he got sent to his room.
Me: Wow. Tough beat for Stu.
Daughter: Miss S. said when she was little, and got in trouble at home, she also got sent to her room. So then I raised my hand and said, "When I get in trouble at home, my dad says he's going to put me up for adoption."
Me: [Maniacal laughter]
Daughter: What's so funny?
Me: [Maniacal laughter]
Daughter: What?
Me: [Catching breath] And what did Miss S. say to that?
Daughter: She said, "I could see your dad saying that. He is a very funny man."
