Without looking at her, he said, “I know.”
“Why do you do that?”
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t let the kids do that.”
“That’s because they’re little kids, and I’m not.”
“What kind of lesson is that?”
“An important lesson. I’m teaching them that adults are not always infallible.”
She turned and walked away, muttering under her breath something about a new truck.
He thought, “That’s funny, I don’t have a new truck.”
