The Stark Reality Of Parenting

(I’m playing one of my games on my Wii, when my four-year-old son asks if he can play ‘Iron Man.’ Being a good dad, I switch out the discs. Sure enough, a few minutes later he decides that he’s had enough (read: is stuck) and wants daddy to play.)

Son: “Here, Daddy, you play Iron Man. I don’t want to play anymore.”

Me: “Well, if Daddy’s going to play, can Daddy switch it back to his game?”

Son: “No… I think you should play Iron Man.”
