Scene: The bathroom behind the Boulevard Diner in Worcester. Nate has just finished getting sick to his stomach. Dad is helping to clean up.
Nate: Well, this was unexpected.
Dad: To tell you the truth, I expect something like this all the time. That way, when it doesn’t happen, it’s like a super-duper bonus.
Nate: So… every day of my life is like a super-duper bonus to you?
Dad: That’s exactly right.
Ninety-nine point nine-nine percent good: it doesn’t get much better than that. If the glass were any fuller, it would be running over.
LOVE this! It really sums up what it feels like to be a parent. I hope you all are well!!!
