Don’t Tell The Wife
In fatherhood, as in life, it’s often key to dodge the truth. Especially with the wife.
So, you know, I just don’t tell her about the game at all. She doesn’t like it — not entirely tough to see why. She doesn’t think I should be playing video games at all while watching him. And if I try to explain my Alaskan wilderness theory to her, well, that is met with the same look of concern I imagine most of her patients saw that day.
We have a difference of opinion. That’s fine.
Oh, and when I say dodging the truth, when she asks me if I played any video games that day I pretend I have to poop and excuse myself.
