Hey, I’ve still got time. Seriously,
though, sure, it’s bothered me.
But we don’t always get what
we want. I didn’t get to be a star,
but I did get to be something
special—your mom’s husband.
And your father. Those things mean
more to me than hosting late-night TV.
“Seriously? Because sometimes
you seem resentful. Not that I blame
you. You didn’t ask for me.”
The potatoes join the roast in the oven.
You’re right. We didn’t ask for you.
But I have never resented becoming
your father. Your mom and I made
that choice willingly, with our eyes
wide open. Yes, sometimes I get mad
about things beyond my control.
Not that it’s useful or changes
anything. It’s just human nature.
Anger is a valid emotion. It’s only
bad when it takes control and makes
you do things you don’t want to do.
I GUESS I CAN’T BLAME ANGER
For the Leah incident.
Lack of self-control isn’t
always about being pissed.
Sometimes it’s sheer greed.
Something Dad said filters
back to me now.
