Grandboy: …and THAT’S why making my wife happy is the most important thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me: Well, what if making your wife happy hurts the entire family? I’m not sure you’d want that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grandboy (thinking): Oh yah, like if my wife says, “honey it would make me so happy if you robbed a bank” and I’d be like, “no my love because I’d end up in prison and the kids would have no dad and you’d have to earn all the money by yourself” so yah in that case I’d have to tell her “NO” and let her be unhappy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll save the question, ‘And what if robbing the bank was the only way to save your child’s life?” for a later day, hehe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
