MY PAIN IS YOUR GAIN

I'm a single father of two beautiful chidren and I live in Novato, CA. I am also the embodiment of several neurotic tendencies. But you will find that out soon enough.

I'll be writing honest blog entries about my trials and successes as a single father. Tune in to hear about my foibles and learn about all the mistakes you shouldn't make. I take the hit, you gain the knowledge.

This morning Oliver and Amélie were having breakfast. I was making lunches.

Oliver was so excited to tell Amélie something that he could barely get his words out. I heard a stream of meaningless syllables.

Me- Oliver, slow down, I can’t understand a word you are saying. You sound like this: amorifashlimitarbydok.

Amélie- I understood him, Papa.

Me- You did? Sheesh! It must be some secret kid language that I don’t understand.

Amelie after a minute to think- Well, papa, there is a grown up language that I don’t understand.

Me- Right. And you know what, honey? I don’t understand that one too well either.
