So dad gave me a little swat. I just scowled at him and smacked him back. So he gave me a firm no and a harder swat. I got madder and smacked him. So he escalated it further. Same result. So finally he looked at me and said “you don’t want to be a bad boy do you?” Apparently I was crushed and cried whale tears.
I’ll probably never forget him telling me, “I don’t know how hard I’d have had to hit you to win, but it was harder than I was willing to.”
Even as a goddamned toddler I was a hard headed ****.
