How long will Daddy be gone?
Well, that sorta depends on Daddy.
Are you two mad at each other?
Yeah, a little, but that's okay. We still love each other very much, but like kids, sometimes grown-ups throw tantrums and need a time-out.
Why can't he take a time-out in his room?
Cause he decided to take it in his pizza place.
No fair, that sounds fun!
Not this pizza place, it's a rat hole. But once your dad comes to his senses and stops being petulant, he'll come home.
What's petulant?
It means childish, stubborn, careless with my money and your futures.
Huh?
It's a grown-up word, and when daddy comes home, he'll learn a new one: grovel!
