Yesterday was memorable. My kid's birthday party was treating five other kids to the new Mario movie. Afterwards the wife and I walked them all home for an afterparty of couch co-op Nintendo games.

On the way there, he randomly said to his mates, "who wants to chase my dad and GET HIM" and as one they all sprouted horns and their eyes glowed, and I sprinted four blocks uphill, a panting American pursued by shrieking English kids while passersby laughed at me. Pure comedy. I later had my revenge when they passed me a controller for a round of Mario Kart.
