Family Chat

It’s a sweltering heat…

INT: (Kitchen, it’s hot even with the fan on. Wife and I are both in our underwear, baby is in the nappy stumbling around, we’re making crepes/pancakes).

Pink Astronaut (5 y.o.): mommy, can I have some of the chocolate chips?

Wife: Ok, you can have a couple.

PA: How many is a couple?

Me: Two.

Wife: Like me and your dad, we’re a couple… (pause) Stuck together! Glued! Like ONE THING! (English zing tone throughout.)

Me: Through love! LOVE, child, you hear!

(Pause)

Wife: Or maybe it’s just the slimy humidity.

What?!? That’s what true love looks like, incels!
