I am usually a proud parent. Good kids. Nice manners (most of the time). Smart. Clever. Common sense. No, wait. Let’s reexamine that last one.
This weekend, as I opened the car trunk, I noticed a disturbing tendency. Whenever the trunk is opened, my kids look in by leaning into the trunk head first. I have not called them there. They just do it. It’s almost as if there is an invisible bag of candy drawing them in. Strange.
What’s worse is that this trait seems to have no associated benefits. I suppose if you are practicing to become a mob informant or a bag of groceries, it could come in handy. Sadly, that’s all I’ve got for associated career paths. Sadly, it’s what they do.
