Finn and I were taking a drive to do a little hunting.
Me: Finny, did you know that before you were born, I used to ride my bike on this road with Mr. Ryan?
Finn: So why did you stop?
Me: Because even though this is a country road, it’s a little bit dangerous to ride with cars, and once I became your daddy, I didn’t want anything bad to happen.
Finn: How come?
Me: I suppose because I love you so much and I want to make sure that I’m around to see you grow up and to spend time with you and to teach you things.
Finn: But before I was born you didn’t care as much about that stuff?
Me: Well, it was different. I didn’t know you, or Gray, or Nash yet.
Finn: So before you knew us, you were more okay with getting hurt?
Me: I didn’t want to get hurt, but now I really don’t want to get hurt because I want to be with you guys. It’s a little hard to explain. I guess you could say I’ve got more to lose from getting hurt these days.
Finn: Daddy. Is hunting dangerous?
Me: I suppose it’s a little bit dangerous. But we’re super careful.
Finn: Well, it’s dangerous for the birds.
Me: You’ve got that right. I love you buddy.
Finn: I know, Daddy.
