78. Dads Love to Invent
“Did three inventions today.”
“Uh huh.”
“Yup, three. You might think of your old man as just a tired old crooner, but I still got some new hits in me. I invented three new things in the lab today. They're out in the garage, if you wanna go look.”
“Uh huh. What are they.”
“Okay, sure, I can just tell you, sure. Okay, the first invention. Now, have you ever gotten tired of how when you microwave food it sometimes pops? Well I invented something for that. Anti-pop food warming box.”
“Alright. Sounds useful. Box. What else.”
“I invented a new kind of tire. A lot like the old kind, but it's spray-painted red.”
“Got it. Third?”
“I invented a child who isn't perpetually ungrateful. Ha ha, just kidding, that doesn't exist. I invented a new kind of toaster that screams when the toast is done.”
