Mariners and Tigers generously keep playing as I stay up late to write. I thank them.

Now he’s building a lego set. I had to undo some of what he did to do it correctly. Then he continued and was doing well. The following conversation occurred.

Me: you’re doing a great job! I am so proud of you!

Him: I’m not that proud of you

LOL

my year old decided to be an astronaut for Halloween and I kind of jokingly said I wasn’t going to allow him to be an astronaut in real life because I’d be too worried about him.

He said “maybe you’ll be dead by then”

I will be because you just murdered me lol
