Detective Munch and I haven’t been seeing eye-to-eye a lot lately. We tend to butt heads as is, but lately it’s been a bit intense.

I say stop, he says go! I say yes, he says no! I say up, he says left! (We’re working on his opposites.) Some of it is typical five-year-old defiance, some of it is clashing priorities, some of it is matching personalities.

Thankfully, we do have some common ground.

Thank god for Star Wars. You know the force is strong when Detective Munch and I finally agree on something!

I can hear my father laughing with glee at the fact that it’s my stubborn and argumentative son driving me crazy; he’s probably sitting down, chomping on a cigar, and saying to himself, “the circle is now complete.”
