conversation at the top of the stairs with the Comic

• the Comic: Daddy?
• Me: What is it?
• the Comic: Daddy, my pajamas have a hole. I have a hole in my shirt.
• Me: Oh, you have a hole in your shirt? Is it bothering you?
• the Comic: No.
• Me: Go back to bed you silly monkey!
• the Comic: Ok. Bye.
