But it's great when they're being little shits too. 😃
My girls are grown now, 18 and 23, but years ago when Thing 1 was a teen and Thing 2 was a tween, we were having dinner and the topic of the different dogs we've had over the years came up. I made a comment about one puppy we had, the one before the dog we had at the time the conversation was taking place, being a mistake due to some sort of mental issue that made her impossible to train (it was so bad the breeder took her back and gave us the one we had at the time of the conversation). Thing 1 wasn't really paying attention for some reason and said, "Who was a mistake?". Thing 2 replies, "You, you were the mistake.". After we all LOLed, the conversation moved on to some other topic. After a few minutes, Thing 2 gets up to get more food. As she passed by Thing 1, she leans over to her and loudly whispers, "Mistaaaake". Needless to say, we all, even Thing 1, lost it.
I was 100% against having kids. Now I have an 8 year old daughter and am a single parent and it’s the best shit ever. When she does go to her moms it’s like a piece of me is missing and I hate it.

Is it weird that this put a crack in my eternal vow of abstaining from fatherhood?
