“You and your daddy were both wrong.” I shook my head and pursed my lips. “Your daddy was wrong for being too stubborn and unwilling to accept another family member’s opinion, while you were wrong because you disrespected him. You know, your daddy and I have tried long and hard to bring you and Audrey into this world. To protect every one of us, he has suffered a lot. He’s quick-tempered, but he’s a man who shoulders his responsibility. Don’t you think a man like that is worthy of respect?”

Gregory nodded his head seriously. “Yes, he is.”

Seeing that he understood the gist of it, I continued to guide him patiently, “Then is it right for you to compare your daddy to a fascist in the car today?”

“No.” Gregory shook his head, sincerity in his eyes.

I let out a breath, then chuckled. “So what should you do next?”

Gregory pondered for a moment. He looked up at Ashton and pouted. “I’m sorry, Daddy. I shouldn’t have called you a fascist. I was wrong. Can you forgive me?”
