We’ve Stopped Using All Commas At Our House

And have never been happier or more confused

I was tossing a chess piece up in the air and hit my younger daughter and suddenly got the royal treatment I so wanted

“Watch that King Dad!”

~~~

My older daughter’s leg was sore but that was no reason for her to kick me

“My leg hurts dad”

~~~

My wife was frustrated by our younger daughter and it became a case for a social worker

“I don’t want this Grace”

~~~

I served my kids some soup that was just boiling and got an unexpected (and awkward) compliment

“Damn that is hot dad!”

~~~

My older daughter wanted her mom to leave her some ginger tea and things got weird

“Stop drinking mom!”

(In my defense I had just started drinking her!)
