FATHER: Therapy shmerapy. I only agreed to this to make my wife happy.

MORDY: They’re my Legos. It makes no difference how old I am! They’re still mine!

Mrs. Kavenberg arrives alone for the intake. “My husband will be here soon” she apologizes. “He had a big meeting. He felt it would be better if Mordy didn’t come to this session ” she adds. Unusual but Mordy is already in sixth grade… Mentally I file this comment for future reference.
