As it turns out, I like being a parent
Scene: Night. DYLAN’s Room. DYLAN is jumping on the bed as DADDY watches.
DADDY: Dylan. Remember when the monkeys were jumping on the bed?
DYLAN: Oh yeah!
DADDY: And one fell down and broke his head?
DYLAN: Yeah!
DADDY: And mommy called the doctor. And what did the doctor say?
(A Pause. DYLAN is thinking)
DYLAN: TARDIS?
Another One of my Favorite Parenting Moments
Scene: It is November. DYLAN, DADDY and MOMMY are seated at the kitchen table, eating pizza. DYLAN places a half-eaten slice of pizza on the table and starts sliding it around.
DADDY: Stop that.
(DYLAN continues sliding the pizza)
DADDY: Dylan, no.
(Without breaking DYLAN’s grip, DADDY takes the pizza and puts it on the plate. DYLAN puts the pizza back on the table and resumes sliding it)
DADDY: Stop that.
(DYLAN continues sliding the pizza)
DADDY: Son, are you pushing your boundaries?
(DYLAN looks at DADDY with mild condescension)
DYLAN: No, daddy. Pushin’ pizza.

One of my Favorite Parenting Moments
Scene: It is summer. DYLAN and DADDY are in the kitchen. Sounds from upstairs indicate that MOMMY is in the master bath.
MOMMY: (oov) I’m going to jump in the shower!
(DYLAN starts hopping in place)
DADDY: What’s up, son?
DYLAN: Mommy jump shower! Dylan jump kitchen!
