Thanks for actually talking to your girls instead of bumming around on your phone while waiting. The conversation made for a great read and I’m sure had a bigger impact on your girls than you may realize. If for no other reason than reestablishing a pattern that dad cares about them enough to talk to them. And to warn them about Xan of course…

We definitely make time (and make them make time) to put the phones away. Damn Xan... I'm sure there's a perfectly well-mannered Xan out there somewhere. If you know one, please connect us. I don't feel like I owe the name an apology or anything, but I like the idea of unicorns, so I'd like to meet a good Xan in real life. LOL

Aside from being incredibly well-written and entertaining, this true story is certainly the best example of parenting I have ever read!

Great job, Dad!

Love this and literally laughed out loud at the first Alien fart.

Thanks, Donella. I know it reads a little like satire, but that's just because I'm a funny guy ;)

Those were really the options we discussed. LOL

I'm glad you liked it. Please feel free to share with other parents that you know.
