No, this is not a rant about my father ...

Evan's been into making up little sayings and songs lately ... just silly stuff ... but it always rhymes. He may have inherited my fascination with words.

In any event, he was doing this last evening and, to make things rhyme, it came out that he said "My dad's a moron." It didn't upset me because I could tell it came out innocently and he immediately told me he didn't really mean it.

My response to him was to wait until he's about 14 or 15 and then he can say it and really mean it.

For a whole bunch of reasons, parenting is not for folks who are not pretty much okay with themselves most of the time.
