LESSON TWO

Objective

Prepping for D-day

Example

The children are suspicious. I announced my intentions several days ago to a bit of bewilderment. My five year old son wanted to know if they have to call me dad. (I tell them they can) My three year old daughter wants to know who will wipe her. My teenager wants to know if I intend to embarrass her in front of her friends. The baby does not care. I have to make a dad exception for him because he is nursing.

Homework

Anticipate their questions and have convincing answers.

Extra Credit

Look them straight in the eye as you explain your plan. Don't crack. Make it sound fun and not weird at all.
