We Need to Talk

After Jeff has had a long day at work he always comes in and sets his lunchbox down in the kitchen. Then he squats down eye-level with the kids and listens to them ramble on about their day. A few days back he came home and set his things down. As he turned around to say something to me Caylee walks up to him and in a very grown up voice says, “Sit down Dad we need to talk.” We both looked at each other with our eyes the size of half dollars. I don’t know what we thought she was going to say but we hadn’t really thought much about this little routine until that moment. She then went on with her daily storytelling. Now, no matter what is going on, Jeff’s first instinct is to sit down and listen to Cade and Caylee share their day.
