CONVERSATIONS WITH NICK ABOUT WHAT GROWN UPS DO

NICK: Daddy?

ME: Yes.

NICK: When we go for a walk, you be the kid and I be the grown up.

ME: Okay. What’s something that grown-ups say?

NICK: “BOY! IT SURE IS WINDY OUT!”

ME: That’s pretty good. What else do grown-ups say?

NICK: “COME ON, DOG! DON’T EAT THAT STICK! THAT MAKES ME FRUSTRATED!”

ME: Absolutely. What else?

NICK: “EVERYBODY JUST SETTLE DOWN AND RELAX!”

ME: Also true. Anything else?

NICK: “LOOK OUT! IT’S A BI-PLANE! EVERYBODY HIDE FROM THE BI-PLANE!”

ME: I will take your word for it.
