My wife sent out a picture of a drawing my kid made on the ipad. She sent it to my family. And then we all commented. And I laughed.
A picture my son drew on an ipad app:
The email thread that followed:
Wife: Here’s a coloring page I made from my Disney Read-Along app!
Mom: Perty!!
Dad: Beautiful!
Me: what a piece of shit. So depressed. Dad, how do I make him #1!? (aside: Dad always called me the #1 athlete of the family, to my brother’s chagrin)
Dad: By telling him how good it really is. You should have seen yours! Take note of his color choice and where he decided to put them. You never had that talent! This kid has more than you think and will have a hell of a lot more than that if you help believe so. Hell look at your brother!! I’m exhausted!
Brother: I knew that whole #1 thing was bullshit!! I earned number one…”here son have the rest of my steak”
