Concerning Deep and Important Conversations

I had something important to talk to Mr. Sneaky Pants about.

Me:  Come on in here for a minute.  I have something I want to talk to you about.

Mr. SP:  Oh no!  No way!  You have got to be kidding.

Me:  What?

Mr. SP:  The three worst things you can say to your kid:

1.  Don’t be nervous.
2. Just eat it.
3. I want to talk with you.

You just know something ominous is going to happen when you hear your parent say those things.

Me:  Uhm.  . . .  Ok.  How about you just grab a chair?

Mr. SP:  That’s number 4:  Grab a chair.
