My dog: *panting in terror and shuddering like a lopsided laundry load on spin cycle* Me: Awww it’s okay, boy. It’s just a rapid series of explosions and guns going off hundreds of times for hours and hours. Don’t be such a scaredy cat.

My son forgot what earlobes are called so after a pause he said ear sacks. He is no longer allowed to speak if he doesn’t recall a word.

Watching horror movies with my teenaged son has me conflicted. On one hand, I’m a dad. But on the other hand, I’m repeatedly shouting for the characters to turn the damn lights ON.
