Daddy's Roommate
Written and Illustrated by Michael Willhoite

My Mommy and Daddy got a divorce last year.
Now there's somebody new at Daddy's house.
Daddy and his roomate Frank live together.
Work together.
Eat together.
Sleep together.
Shave together.
And sometimes even fight together.
But they always make up.
Frank likes me too!
Just like Daddy, he tells me jokes and riddles,
Helps me catch bugs for show-and-tell,
Reads to me,
Makes great peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches,
And chases nightmares away
When weekends come
We do all sorts of things together.
We go to ball games.
Visit the zoo.
Go to the beach.
Work in the yard.
Go shopping.
And in the evenings, we sing at the piano.
Mommy says Daddy and Frank are gay.
At first I didn't know what that meant.  So she explained it.
Being gay is just one more kind of love.
And love is the best kind of happiness.
Daddy and his roommate are very happy together.
And I'm happy too!
