“It’s my Daddy privilege,” I said with a firm nod. “Good thing french toast isn’t terrible cold because we forgot to eat.”

“All right,” Drew answered before picking up his fork. “Eat. Errands. Shoes.”

Didn’t you say you were looking to hire someone to take Ben to daycare in the mornings?

Marc

Yeah, I’ve been too busy to find someone though.

I take that back. There was someone, but they bailed after a week.

Is your kid really that bad?

Probably.

So FYI, Drew got a job at Ben’s school…

Oh fuck yeah.

Do you think he’d be interested?

Either way, Ben has a serious case of hero worship for the guy.

I’m not sure, but I’ll mention it to him. If he’s interested, then I’ll have him text you.

Butter him up for me.

Tell him I pay well.

Do you pay well?

Yes.

Wait…does he have a car?

He will if he says yes.

Please convince him.

I knew single parent by choice would be hard, but OMFG the logistics are a pain in the ass.

Pretty sure it’s a PITA regardless of choice.

Yeah, but I feel like a dumbass for complaining about it when I’m the one who decided to adopt on my own.

I’ll talk to him, but no promises.

You’re a lawyer.

Use your evil for good and talk him into it.

That doesn’t help your cause.

Convince him.

Think of the children.

Think of *ME*
