Some supernatural myths, legends, and lies are more amusing than others.

You seem to have handled it all pretty well considering the ambush. It he does come back with his 2nd wave hit him with the essays. This might be a good start for discussion since he is so stuck on "approved" literature. Please return and report. Exactly. I would say, "dad, if you want to have this...
