I Hate That My Parents Think My Daughter Is The Greatest Thing I've Ever Done

I sat on the floor with my mom and dad, watching my daughter tinker with her toys. I was telling my parents about a new and exciting ghostwriting opportunity, a milestone in my writing career. As I spoke, they occasionally nodded as they grinned at my crawling baby.

To test their loyalties, I started telling a story about the latest solid food my baby had tried.
