world’s "coolest" dad.

You: Hey Joselyn, what are you doing on Saturday afternoon at 2:38pm?

Me: Oh, I’m just watching the holiday classic “Jack Frost.”

You: What?

Me: You’re not familiar? You should really check it out. Let me read you the summary-

“Jack Frost is a singer who’s on the road most of the time so he can’t spend a lot of time with his son Charlie, although they love each other very much. When Jack dies in a car accident, Charlie becomes a very sad young man, until… Jack returns as a snowman! Now they can do all the things they’ve missed when Jack was human, but what will people think when they see Charlie talking to a snowman and what will happen when the weather gets warmer?”

Doesn’t that sound great!?

You: That sounds like the worst thing I’ve ever heard.

Me: What are you talking about? A heartwarming movie where a high tech animated talking snowman that was a little boy’s father and is helping him get through the day to day struggles of a little boy who’s just trying to get back on the hockey team and help his mom all while just being twelve even though he recently lost his father who’s now is the snowman on the front yard? It’s amazing and so well written!

You: That’s terrifying.

Me: Michael Keaton voices the snowman!!! C’mon!

You: I don’t know who you are, and we are not friends.

Me: Your loss. (see below)
