Dialogue

Lily: "Daddy, why do you have to holes in your ear?"

Jerod: No answer -- he's checking his Facebook.

Lily: "Daddy?"

Jerod: "WHAT?"

Lily: "I said, why do you have two holes in your ear?"

Jerod: "Because I got shot with a bb gun."

Lily (mouth open wide): "You got shot?"

Me: "Yes, Daddy got shot in the head. Someone tried to kill him."

Lily (mouth open wider): "Who did it?"

Me: "Uncle Paul shot daddy."

Lily: "Daddy? Your own brother shot you?"

Jerod: No answer -- still on Facebook.

Lily: "Why did he do it?"

Me: "Your daddy tried to eat him."

Lily (hands over face, head bowed in shame): "Don't eat people, Daddy. They aren't food."
