Mills (just before dinner): I ate a hamburger bun today
Adam: Just a hamburger bun?
M: Yeah
A: Did you toast it or anything?
M: No, I just wanted it plain, because it’s a little bit sweet and kind of tastes like a donut
I don’t know how to take this other than as an indictment against my job as provider. I think I’ll just go back to school and let her take the reins for a while.
M: I decided this morning that when we have children there are some things that you can be in charge of.
A: Well that’s quite nice of you. I suppose you will be the one to just delegate responsibilities to me? So what are these things that I *get* to be in charge of?
M: Braces. You can be in charge of whether our kids get braces or not, because if it is up to me I’ll just say “No,” but maybe they should, and so you can decide.
A: Great. Any other crumbs you want to toss me?
M: I didn’t think of any other
