The Myth, The Man, The Legend - Dad Chat

Dom:

I’ve failed you.

Dad:

I doubt that.

Dom:

Nope. I’m definitely a shithead.

Dad:

How big of a turd are we talking?

Dom:

She broke up with her girlfriend and I’m not sad about it.

Dad:

Is she sad about it?

Dom:

She seems okay.

Dad:

And you didn’t contribute to breaking them up?

Dom:

No. As much as I would like to

think she did it because she realized

I’m the one for her, that isn’t the case.

Dad:

I’m glad we don’t have to write you

out of the will for being the biggest

turd in all the land.

Dom:

These are the affirmations sons

everywhere seek. Thanks, Dad.
