The setting is a small toddler’s bedroom. A young boy lays on his bed, tucked under his Lightning McQueen blanket. Heaps of stuffed animals surround him, and he is lit up by the glow of a pale blue night light. Beside him, in the world’s most uncomfortable Ikea rocking chair, sits his father. The father leans back, trying desperately to not hurt himself on the terrible chair he curses every night.
Father: Goodnight, Potato Boy.
Potato Boy: Goodnight Daddy.
Father: I love you very much.
Potato Boy: I love you too daddy.
Father: Sleep tight. Don’t let the bed bugs bite.
Potato Boy: Thank-you, daddy.
