But how generous and thoughtful of him to share this information with us:
"We interrupt this broadcast to send a short message to your mother.
Yes, it's possible that I should have paid more attention to the fact that we've started giving the baby real food now. And yes, I can agree that maybe I didn't listen as closely as I should have when you explained the exact circumstances around that.
But I don't care what you say. Because if I see ten small plastic Tupperware containers of homemade mashed potatoes in the fridge, I'm going to eat those mashed potatoes. Because it's my duty. Because evolution demands it. And most of all, because I love mashed potatoes.
How was I meant to know they were for the BABY? A few months ago, we counted takeaway pizza as 'basically homemade supper,' and now you're standing here, making your own baby food? Who are you? Mary Poppins?
Stop giving me the silent treatment and open the door! It's really cold out here!"
