A Small Play

Tired: Your son is reading and writing at way below his grade level. 😕

Wired: But he sure is cynical for his age! 😞

Me: How cynical. Like Alexander Hamilton cynical? Ambrose Bierce?

The sane voice in my head: Oh, no. Its fairly typical but at such a young age it is noticeable. Imagine your 6 year old was painting those kind of oil paintings they have in hotel lobbies.

Me: Yeah, very thick oils of cafes and generic country bridges!

TSVIMY: Exactly. They are not great but at this age it is something! Its like that except being cynical.

Me: Daddy is so proud.
