Sometimes, like all Fathers, I wonder if I’m on the right track with Junior.
A couple of recent conversations with his Aunty leads me to believe I am. It has just the right blend I think, of sarcasm, pessimism and mis-information:
Aunty: "How's school going Junior?"
Junior: "Oh, really awesome"
Aunty: "So you like your teacher?"
Junior: "No, she's a dick"
Aunty: "So...You like your classmates?"
Junior: “No, they're all idiots"
Aunty: "So... What's awesome about school?"
Junior: “Nothing. It sucks"
Conversation 2:
Aunty: "Want some breakfast Junior?"
Junior: "No thanks"
Aunty: "Ok"
Junior::"Can I have some cereal please?"
That’s my boy.
Wow, he uses full sentences. That makes him a potential brain surgeon. My 18yr old grunts and if push comes to shove manages a 1 word answer.
