As Charged…
I took Ella and Kyle to the Maccabee Market the other day to get some last minute Hanukkah things. I got them some chocolate gelt (candy coins) at the checkout as a treat. The woman asked if she should put them in the bag.
“Nah, I doubt they’ll make it to the car.”
On the way home Kyle decided to save one for his mom because he loves her so much. Ella offered to give me half of one of hers.
Steve: No thanks.
Ella: Good, because I didn’t really want to. I just felt bad that no one offered you one.
Steve: No worries. I don’t want you to feel gelty.

Steve: You see what I did there, right?
Ella: I wish I had the power of dad jokes.
Steve: Well, with great power comes great responsibility.
Ella: I’m serious.
Steve: You say that now, but…
Ella:
Steve:
Ella:
And scene.
Note: The power of dad jokes is a blessing and a curse, but I guess that’s my cross to bear. I’ll see myself out.
