Well, that explains a lot

Yesterday, after visiting my father in the hospital (recovering from back surgery), my mother related the story of my first complete sentence.

Update: Well, okay, it's not grammatically complete. The "I want" is implied, as it often is in childspeak.

Hope your dad's doing well.
Mine was "Show me the money!". So you gotta figure - that something went terribly awry since here I am decades later writing poetry.
