I mean, I warned him. *shrug*

It is a screenshot of a family group text.

Me: I'm going to take a nap and anyone who wakes me up shall lie in a pool of their own blood. Love you! *heart emoji*

A few minutes later, Me: ...
I'm sorry you no longer have a father. He is lying in a pool of his own blood.

Child responds: Awwww.

Oh my goodness!! DARLING is BEAUTIFUL!! Here’s my reaction seeing it for the first time. There were also adorable little WELCOME TO DARLING magnets that were tucked sweetly away.
