Maybe If Daddy Did The Shopping More Often…
(My father-in-law and I are in the checkout lane of a grocery store. A woman with a child around three or four is in front of us. The little girl is in the cart handing stuff to her mother. She smiles and says hello to my father-in-law.)
Father-In-Law: “My, but you are a big girl, helping your mommy!”
Girl: “I always help my mommy and daddy!”
(The mother is smiling proudly.)
Father-In-Law: “I bet your daddy thinks you are a big help.”
Girl: “Mommy says Daddy is an a**hole.”
(The mother turned several shades of red and hurried out of the store. That was the last time my father-in-law talked to children in the grocery store checkout lane.)
