MvD (Mom v. Dad) SCENE 1:
It's 7:15 a.m. A mom (i.e. me) walks into the bathroom to take a shower but finds tub toys strewn about and the toddler tub, still filled with water, where the dad (i.e. my husband) had left it the night before.
Mom (calling out to Dad, who is still in bed): Honey, why is there a pair of tights in the tub?
Dad: Uh...I thought they were too small.
Mom (as she wrings out the tights and collects the toys): They're tights. They're like pantyhose. They stretch.
Dad: But they were soft and floppy -- like a washcloth.
Mom (muttering to herself and shaking her head in incredulity): The washcloths are in the same drawer they've been in for 18 friggin' months.
Dad (talking to daughter, who is sitting on the bed and playing with his iPhone -- which is another story entirely): Uh-oh, daddy's busted.
