child: dad, how do you tie shoes?
child: dad? dad! how do i tie these things? i wanna go outside! daaad daaaaad
father: hold on for a bit. dad's a little busy capturing this flag. wiki it on your phone or something
son: i'm gonna tell mom that you're playing games instead of parenting again.
*soon*
father (still playing games): how are you doing with your shoes now, son?
son: great, dad. velcro shoes. just great
*son is wearing velcro shoes now*
I have a little bit of a fear of becoming that guy. Playing video games just sounds so much more fun than parenting! Well, at least right now it does. I have a feeling that when kids happen, you get all grown up on the insides… or something like that =)
