You'd be good at it.

[onlyoneof]

I would be.

[skepticalities]

We could take care of Jack and Brianna together.

[onlyoneof]

I'll be the irresponsible uncle.

[skepticalities]

The uncle?

[onlyoneof]

Yeah, you set the rules and I help them find the loopholes.

[skepticalities]

Hey.

[onlyoneof]

That's what irresponsible uncles are for!

[skepticalities]

Somehow, I— don't think that's how it works.

[onlyoneof]

I don't think I'm ready to be an actual parent.

[skepticalities]

You could be the fun dad.

[onlyoneof]

... is that a thing? 'Fun' dads?

[skepticalities]

I wouldn't know, personally. Apparently, it's a thing?

[onlyoneof]

It doesn't sound like the best idea.

[skepticalities]

It was just a thought.

[onlyoneof]

I know. I'm just thinking if you have a "rules" parent and a "fun" one, the fun one will possibly get less respect than the rules one, and the kids will try to get around the rules one by going to the fun one first. It just sounds like a bad idea.

[skepticalities]

— that does make sense.

[onlyoneof]

If it's two people raising children, they have to keep the same rules and so forth.

[skepticalities]

Well then . . .

[onlyoneof]

... for the record, this conversation is scarier than anything else we've discussed.

[skepticalities]

What!

[onlyoneof]

We're talking about raising children! If you weren't so calm about it I'd be hyperventilating right now.

[skepticalities]

Twelve year olds! This is what normal people do.

[onlyoneof]

I'm not a normal person.

[skepticalities]

True.
