I’m very lucky: I’m a standing comedian and dad. People often tell me that dealing with a disciple is the worst…
Apparently, when your child has diarrhea, they never change their diapers in the dark.
As a comedian, I am used to being a disciple. There aren’t many jobs that drunk people can yell at you when you work. You can imagine a heart surgeon doing surgery while having some drunk guy screaming “…called this is a triple bypass?!” However, it’s part of live comedy magic.
But, lately, I’ve experienced a form of feedback, which is 10 times more cruel.
I did something stupid. I promised my son that I would write a book for him. In retrospect, I should have assured him his bike like any average parent, but I decided to try to turn a bedtime story with makeup into a children’s book.
So I wrote it, honed it, I wiped it – and then, when it was finally finished, I delivered the copy to my house. I’m very scared…
Being criticized drunk is one thing, but are you going to have a 10-year-old who is scrutinizing your job? Petrochemical.
Like all children, my son can be honest. He was recently disappointed with Star Wars because “there aren’t enough sheep in it.”
One of the most successful film franchises of all time was dismissed due to a lack of livestock. So, what are the opportunities for my first children’s book to perform well?
I wrote Teacher and aliens Encourage my son (and all children) to enjoy reading. I want to write something interesting and something parents can like.
But, fun and empowering can be a tricky combination.
I remember thinking of trying to inspire my son by telling him whether to work hard, he might be anything he wants, he smiled and blows his chest and said, “Glorious! In this case, when I’m older, I’ll be a one-stop!”
Like I said: a tricky combination.
I nervously handed the book to my son, who washed away like a bone like a dog, jumped onto the sofa and swallowed it.
After a while, he entered the room with the silent strode of his executioner and placed the book on my desk.
“Do you know the problem with this book?” He blew up me up.
question? I think. Isn’t this good? No one starts a sentence by pointing out their shortcomings. No kid said, “Do you know the problem with pizza?”
My pint-sized executioner stared at me and continued, “The problem with this book is that I can’t put it down!”
Then, he smiled and jumped out of the room.
This is the kindest, most disturbing verbal assassination I have ever experienced. I feel emotional.
Then he bounced his head back to the door and said, “But there should be more sheep in the next book.”
Give me a disciple at any time!
