What they mean to say is why don’t we come over and we can hang out?

I promise, I’m fine

Jasper

Fine, be that way

I’m not being any way

Marcus

We’ll deal with you tomorrow at practice

Nothing to deal with

I’m fine

Marcus

When Harper says that, it’s the exact opposite

Then I’m terrible

Jasper

What’s that, Caleb? You’re hungry?

Gotta go

Marcus

You’re an ass

Love you too

“Are you going to be okay on your own tonight?” Gran asks me.

Caleb is stumbling around on the floor, learning his way. Ever since he took his first steps, I found every single baby-proofing item I didn’t have so I could protect him. When I debated getting a helmet for him, Gran threatened to make me wear my own helmet around.

I backed off immediately.

“We’ll be fine.”

“You sure?” Caleb waddles over to her and she scoops him up, peppering him with kisses.

I sigh, sinking into the couch and wanting it to swallow me whole. “Yes. We’ll be good. I’ve got this whole dad thing down now.”

That earns me a smile from the baby in her arms. I’m choosing to believe he can understand me and likes me being his dad.
