Memphis, Age 2
“That seems pretty clear,” I thought.
“I don’t like you at all.”
“Fine, Melika,” I replied. “You don’t like me, so I don’t think you need a Daddy anymore. I’ll just leave.”
“Good.”
“Goodbye, Melika.”
“But, Daddy….” Melika began.
“Ah ha,” I thought.
“… can you change my diaper before you go?”
Santa Barbara, Age 22
“I think I’ll go to Law School, Dad.”
“Do you want to be a lawyer?”
“Lawyers make a lot of money, Dad.”
“And you want to make a lot of money?”
“Yes.”
“Why?” I asked.
“Dad!” Melika looked at me like I was stupid. “I spend a lot of money.”
“Finally,” I thought. “Something we can agree on.”
