Digging for Fire Page #3

- It is! They say development

is... -Who the f*** is "they"?

The experts, whatever.

All the stuff that I read.

Yeah, and then we read another thing about

preschools where, uh, the one that was all dirt

and they play in the dirt

all the time

- and they raise those turtles.

- Yeah, I read that article.

And you spend $12,000 for three months and

you need to pay for every extra activity.

And there's...

Yeah, but, here's the thing,

you wouldn't be paying for it.

That's the thing. That's the

thing that I'm talking about.

How about our son goes to school

in the neighborhood he lives in?

Yeah, how about

that school is a six?

How about he's in preschool?

It's not a good preschool.

Let them run around and figure

out problems on their own.

And so if one kid

bites another kid,

- well then, the biter hangs out

with the bitee... -Oh, stop. Stop.

And they have to figure out what they did wrong, and

they talk it out for $10,000 over three months.

You're making me mad. I'm reading this.

You're making me mad.

- Do you want some of this?

- No.

- "Love and Foreplay Aren't

Blind." -Yeah, right.

My favorite chapter.

What does that even mean?

Hi, Mom, it's me. Can you give

me a call when you get this?

I, uh, was thinking about coming

down for the weekend with Jude.

And maybe asking if you'd babysit for

me so I can have a night out to myself.

I just... Tim's got a lot to

of stuff to do this weekend

and I just need a break

to be honest with you.

I love you. Call me back. Bye.

You're on the hook

for next time.

Okay. Have fun.

- Don't have too much fun.

- I won't.

Okay, say hi to everybody.

Yes, I will.

- Love you guys.

- We love you, Daddy.

- Bye.

- -Bye.

Okay, bud, you're ready to

go see Grandma and Pop-pop?

Yeah.

Don't forget the taxes.

Don't forget the taxes.

I won't.

Why don't I come to you? Because I

haven't seen the kids in so long.

That would be so nice, and then

we'll just do it from there.

Cool?

All right, get ready, baby. We are

gonna have a fun Saturday night.

- Mama?

- -Yeah?

Why isn't Daddy here?

Because Daddy had to stay home and do

some things that Mommy wanted him to do.

Because Daddy

has some responsibilities.

Oh, what is a responsibility?

- What's a responsibility?

- Yeah.

Sometimes mommies want daddies to

pitch in and help out and do things,

and those are called

responsibilities.

And if you don't do them,

then Mommy comes after you

and goes, "Rawr! Why didn't you do

everything I wanted you to do?"

- You don't like when Mommy

gets like that. -No.

No. I don't like it

either, actually.

So Daddy is at home

doing his homework.

- Right?

- Yeah.

Yeah!
