Relative Roads

A continuation of the conversation.

My dad was always the quiet and reserved type growing up. A man of very few words. He only had to look at me a certain way to correct my behavior as a kid. But these days, we can enthusiastically go on forever about our retrospective selves just to learn more about one another. He has chosen a career that involves research and study of "Neuro Linguistics". So, basically, he's a human processor wit...

As it turns out, I have a friend who specializes in helping with that very thi...

As a parent, I have made it a point to be open and as blatantly honest with my kid about most things in life.

I would explain the process of making and using fake blood, the sound effects used for monster noises, and pr...
