Been a bit

Just wanted to drop a line to you, since it's been a while. Had a quick story from tonight I thought you might get a chuckle from. We were listening to Good Cop, Bad Cop and reading the lyrics and you asked what the n***a was and if it was a super bad word since it wasn't written out while all the other curse words were. So I had to explain to you the history of that word and how it came about, which sucked. I hate the ugliness and injustice of the world you'll learn about.

But it was also a bit fun, because I got to teach you about how Abraham Lincoln used his chain gun and rocket launchers to defeat the Confederacy, and how one night President Lincoln snuck into Jefferson Davis's camp and single handedly beat him to a pulp, then brought him back to the Union where he was stuck in jail.

I hope someday when you learn the actual facts that you appreciate my more humorous take on such dark events.

On another note as we were tucking you in, you made sure to tell you mom (mommy) that you loved her not just as big as the Universe, but further than the edges of the Universe. So we talked about about how the Universe is expanding faster than we could ever see, and what we perceive is only the Known Universe, and if you love your mom that much, it means your love is stronger than the Law of Physics, which you understood to be (mostly) unbreakable...

I love being your dad.

Warm Winter Days

Just a short update in case you were curious what your days were like in the winter of 2020. You've got a new nanny that you love, she's smart, full of energy, runs around with you all day, but makes sure you get your homework done in time for mommy. Yesterday was Saturday, and we started by going to the Chocolate Expo to see your artwork and test chocolate. Then we headed over to the fairgrounds and went to 4 different shows. The RV show was your favorite and you went into every single RV there and gave us the rundown on what's good and bad about each one and which one you definitely wanted. You didn't even care when we ran into some friends and spent longer than you wanted talking. Then we went to the tractor and truck show, where we bought some Amish cookies, you sat in all the tractors, then rode a mechanical bull for the first time. You weren't interested in the cattle show and neither were we so skipped that one. You wanted to go to the gun show, which utterly

An Afternoon of Imagination

Martin’s Wishes While playing pirates with mommy, Martin found ‘X marks the spot for treasure.’ And as he dug it up there was a treasure chest full of 11 wishes. Mommy asked what he wished for, and here are his wishes. To be a grown up. To have golden toy cars. To be able to climb fast. To be a monkey and swing all over the place. To have a race car. To be a construction worker. To be a pirate. To be able to drive. <don’t remember> <don’t remember> And last was to never be heart broken. All of these wishes were Martin’s and Martin’s alone.  Martin then said all of them were true, they’re right over there. And gestured to his right, said here they come. And then he told mommy to get into his race car and they drove it into the house.
