this morning #1850.

this morning, the wife was entirely right. i should’ve listened. if not for my insistence last night that our daughter was totally old enough to watch gremlins, we would’ve got a good night’s sleep. more than four hours, at least. apparently i’m a bad parent. poor judge of what my own child can handle. i mean, i saw the film when i was six. she’s almost eight but she’s just much more afraid of stuff than i was. needs some toughening up. it’ll be fine. i’ll take her out for ice cream. have a daddy-daughter chat. clear things up. calm her fear. appeal to the idea that it’s not real & assure her that it’s ok to be afraid. make sure she knows she’s safe. i guess next time, i’ll listen to my wife. ladies’ choice next movie night.
