My neurotic son is always scared to shower. So while in the shower, he gets startled over nothing and starts screaming. I don’t know what he thinks he sees. To remedy this, he tries to talk to me or his mom while he’s in the shower. He’ll yell at us from the shower while we’re in the living room. He’ll start saying “Dad, Mom, how was your day? Um… What did you do? You know what happened to me today?… etc.” Just random bullshit to distract him from his fears. It is honestly really annoying.
So when the following happened, my natural fatherly instincts kicked in. I did everything I could to ensure him that he is safe and warm while I stood right next to him, coddling him and patiently waiting while he finished showering. … …. Just kidding. (Thanks Colbert)
Instead I did this…….
My son Ethan will be a great future politician because he is willing to be honest, comes clean about what happened, and takes responsibility….. once he is caught red handed and backed into a corner.
