Or it was just a weird dream. I dreamt that I hired my friend Will to play Ben Franklin as if he were transported to the present, and I had the best time pretending to teach him all our modern society has to offer. Maybe it was a dream about teaching, or maybe I want to be a father so I can teach a kid who’s completely dependent on me. I dunno, I feel odd
I’ve had a similar monologue going on in my head constantly since I was about twelve, except I’m speaking to Laura Ingalls Wilder instead of Ben Franklin.
Parenthood is nothing like that.
