| SON: | ***despair*** |
| DAD: | What's wrong? |
| SON: | All my friends are better than me at Minecraft. They got houses and roller coasters and I got these blocks. |

| SON: | Yeah. Well, I guess there's only one thing I can do. |
| DAD: | You can learn to- |
| SON: | I'm going to have to start playing all the time. |
| DAD: | -live with it. Wait, what? No. |

| SON: | But dad! |
| DAD: | But nothin! No way. |

| DAD: | This is the point where I'm going to dispense great fatherly advice in the form of a parable that is entertaining yet so subtle that its real message leaks into your brain only days or weeks later. |
