What Kind of Dad Will Teancom Be?

This conversation took place yesterday.

Teancom (standing on a box):  Look, Mom!  I'm so tall!
Me:  That's crazy.
Teancom:  That's crazy?  But you're that tall.
Me:  Yep.  You know that some day you'll be even taller than I am?
Teancom:  Yeah, when I'm a dad.
Me:  Well, probably before that.  ...  I hope some day you'll be a dad.
Teancom:  Yeah.  I'll be a nice dad.
Me:  You will?
Teancom:  Yeah.  I'll be so nice.  I'll play with them.  I'll play the wii with them.  I'll yell at them.  And I'll give them spankings.
Me:  Giving spankings is nice?
Teancom:  No.  Giving spankings isn't good.  You shouldn't give spankings, Mom.  It's bad.  My teacher said so.
Me:  She did?
Teancom:  Yeah.  My teacher at church said so.
Me:  She didn't say that spankings were bad.
Teancom:  Yes, she did.
Me:  No, she didn't.
Teancom:  Well, I told her that.

It's moments like this that I wish I was Tank's teacher.
