Pigeon

Walking along a path by the lake after dinner.

H: Look, there’s a pigeon in the water.

A: No, it’s a duck.

H: Wait, no. It’s a tire.

A: Hold on, it’s a duck, a tire and a pigeon.

When it’s the end of school, and teachers are sending home all the drawings and books and work your kids did this year, and you casually flip through your child’s writing journal and feel like you’ve completely and utterly failed as a parent.

Burgers

Eating at Five Guys tonight.

A: This is the second best hamburger I’ve ever had.

Me: The second?

A: Burger King is the best.

Me: Not the ones mommy and I make at home?

A: No. I appreciate those the most. But Burger King tastes the best.
