My wife came through the front door, dropped her stuff, and immediately launched into a full-blown rant about absolutely everything.
She was fired up.
Then our 9-year-old daughter walked into the room, took one look at her, and calmly asked,
“Who lit the fuse on your tampon?”
The room went completely silent.
I immediately walked outside because I knew two things:
If I laughed, I was in serious trouble.
And if I stayed, I probably wouldn’t survive.
I made it outside just in time…
and laughed so hard I nearly fell over.
Parenting tip: Never underestimate a 9-year-old who has perfect timing and absolutely no fear.
