Rapid Development: My Daughter as Korea

Tonight
I tried to make a joke
One I really only wanted my wife to hear
So I spelled it out
But
Being a parent
Is like being The United States
If the United States lived in a house with Korea and
Singapore or
Maybe even India
So
My daughter understood what I’d said
And her mother said “huh?”
And now I am still awake
Wondering whether we are in the 1970’s or the 1980s
And
Thinking about what I have to look forward to next
