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!
