Yes Sweetheart,

Da’ad, I told the teacher my tail had to be cut off

and she laughed

Hahahaha

We learned about centrifugal force today

and the teacher said the earth spins really fast

How do we stay on it?

Well Sweetheart, if you get up really early and go outside

and you lean towards the sun and then jump a little bit

you can just fly right off into space

Whaaat?

Da’ad, Nuh-uh…really?

Hahahaha

Dad, do you have to leave?

Yes, Sweetheart, I do

Da’ad, no, I want you here

I know Sweetheart, I want to be here too

I don’t understand

I know Sweetheart, you will

You can’t go to that park with your friend

it’s too dangerous there

Da’ad, I’ll be with my friend

No. No one there will jump in front of a bullet for you

Would you?

Yes Sweetheart, I would, you’re not going

Dad I am so mad at you right now

Remember when I wanted to go with my friend to that park?

You were right Dad, thank you

You’re going to be a Grandpa.

Well, it had to happen.
