Arcanum

Person: All the stores are closed, we’ll have to try the gas stations.
Other Person: Thanks.
[Later]
Person: What about these?
Other Person: No, I want the ones with wings.
Person: Okay. We’ll get these little cans of coffee, though, so the cashier doesn’t think we’re weird.
Other Person: Does it taste good?
Person: Not sure.
[Later]
OP: You’re the best dad.
P: How come?
OP: I bet other dads wouldn’t drive to so many gas stations looking for them.
P: I bet they would. Sure they would.
OP: No way.
P: Your average dad is way underrated, man.
[Later]
OP: I really hate it when they don’t have a trash can in the bathroom, you know?
P: I suppose so.
OP: I’ve seen them stuck to walls.
P: EW!
OP: I mean, it’s easier to flush a baby down the toilet than one of those.
P:!!! [Thinks: That has a biblical ring to it.]
[Later]
P: Look, wings. Yay.
OP: Yep.

    you think you’re bored now, wait until you get a job.

    jetski sounds russian, doesn’t it. the millionairski invited the supermodelski into his private jetski.

  7. Oh man, do I hope it’s a boy.

    rub it in, jessica.

  10. The OP was about right about the Average Dad, except that she didn’t mention that we think that your bad example might require require termination with extreme prejudice. I’d be tempted to do it myself, except my little baby is 30 y.o. now and makes few demands.
