I don’t talk to my dad often while I’m in school, but I was panicking about my immense amount of work and, seeking reassurance, had the following text conversation with him:
me: So I should just be able to work all night and get it done, right?
(a minute later)
me: Well?
Dad: I hope so!
(7 minutes later)
Dad: A hole in the ground with water in it.
me: What??
Dad: A well.
