THREAT #5: “If you don’t stop crying, I’m going to cry too.”

PROBLEM: I can’t cry on cue, so in the unlikely event that he calls my bluff, I’ll be stuck staring at him, mired in the quicksand of my lie or, even worse, trying to fake-cry. The only thing more disconcerting to a child than seeing his father weep is realizing what a terrible actor his father is. “Daddy, is that really how you cry? You look silly.” Me: “This is totally how I cry. Does it look unnatural?”

REVISION: “If you don’t stop crying, I’ll ask you over and over again why you’re crying, even though you can’t catch your breath long enough to answer me. I’ll hold you in my arms and say things like, ‘It’s going to be okay, sweet boy,’ but I’ll be rolling my eyes, since it’s completely ridiculous to cry for fifteen minutes because the cat stepped on your foot.”
