I am a bad dad. This morning, a conversation between Claire and I as she ate her blueberry waffles and waited for me to make the TV play something good.
Me: Claire. I have some bad news.
Claire: [Blank faced] What?
Me: There are no more cartoons.
Claire: What. Do. You. Mean?
Me: The people who make cartoons went out of business. There aren't going to be any more cartoons.
[Silence. Her eyes go cold. Her lip begins to quiver.]
Me: I'M JUST JOKING!
Claire: I knew that.
