The most important conversation a father can have

  • Me: Hey, kiddo. We need to talk.
  • Seven: Okay, dad.
  • Me: There's been some stuff on TV lately. I know you've seen it.
  • Seven: What stuff?
  • Me: I'll get to that. Because I think it's important I explain what's going on.
  • Seven: Well...okay.
  • Me: There have been a lot of images. Things I don't know if you're prepared for. So I want to make sure it's clear what's happening. Or, rather, what has happened.
  • Seven: Dad, you're freaking me out.
  • Me: I'm sorry kiddo. I don't mean to. It's just that this is a big deal. A really big deal. And I don't want to screw this up.
  • Seven: Dad, stop it! What's going on?
  • Me: Sorry. Sorry. I should just come out and say it. I think you can handle it.
  • Seven: ...
  • Me: Here we go.
  • Seven: ...
  • Me: I'm going to say it now.
  • Seven: ...
  • Me: Really. Here it comes.
  • Seven: WILL YOU JUST TELL ME ALREADY.
  • Me: Okay. This may be hard for you to hear. I just hope I'm doing the right thing.
  • Seven: !!!
  • Me: ...
  • Seven: ...
  • Me: Maybe if I just say it really fast-
  • Seven: DAD!
  • Me: Fine. Okay.
  • Seven: ...
  • Me: JarJarBinksistheworstcharacterinthehistoryofhumansandsinglehandedlyruinedeverythinggoodintheworld.
  • Seven: ...
  • Me: ...
  • Seven: ...
  • Me: ...well-
  • Seven: SERIOUSLY!?!!
