Leaving the Comic Shop
Every Wednesday I take 6 and 8yo Guppy and Drake to the comic store for new comic day. I give them their allowance, and they decide how to spend it. I was settling up at the register and asked Guppy where his brother was.
“He’s in the corner.”
I said what had to be said: “No one puts Baby in the corner.”
The comic-book store guy laughed. My boys looked at me, baffled. Another guy in the store said, like a fairy at the birth of Sleeping Beauty,
“May he never understand why that is funny.”

I’m sure they had the time of their lives.
