Late Night Conversations...
I'm not sure what we started off discussing... but at some point, mid-sentence, my subconscious took over...
Me: "Well, can we at least agree on one thing?"
Davy: "Sure... what?"
Me: "You obviously need a therapist."
Davy: " Are you kidding me? You're joking, right?"
Me: (slightly offended that he's not taking me seriously)... "Why would I joke about that? You obviously need to come to terms with your childhood."
Davy: "There's nothing to come to terms with..."
Me: "Exactly."
Davy: (genuinely confused) "Exactly what?"
Me: "You're in such denial... that you don't even know what you need to come to terms with..."
Davy: "I have no idea what you're talking about. You're the one who needs a therapist. I could use a life coach."
Me: "I'm not the one who needs a therapist. I'm the most self-critical, analytical person I know. I come to terms with everything. I'm my own therapist... and I think I'm pretty good at it."
Davy: "Well, maybe I need a therapist so I can handle you."
Me: "Well, at least that's a start."
NOTE TO SELF: Overly tired parents of toddlers, with no time to communicate, should just throw in the towel some nights ... and watch t.v..
