Single Parenting It

So Ann-Marie is up in Prince George for the week, gearing up for school. That leaves Tobin and me spending the week on our own. And let me tell you, it's a breeze this single parent thing.*


Eating delicious and healthy meals together: "More Butter Chicken, son?"**



Going for relaxing walks on the estate. "I think the deer blind should go here, father."



Examining the local fungus. "Nope, sadly not a Psilocybe, son."


*The trick, I've found, is to only eat every second day, disregard your personal and domicile hygiene and only sleep 1 hour per night. This leaves plenty of time for relaxing with your son.
**If you look closely there are Cheddar Bunnies sprinkled in his dinner, a ransom offering if he'll at least eat a few vegetables (lest he get scurvy before his mother returns).

Maybe a house un-cleaning service, and call it 'Entropy Home Care'.
