How many stories have you gotten published, Daddy?

See, I thought I had a wife to puncture my ego, but now I have kids for that too. The job is currently overstaffed and we will be taking on no more people for the purpose of ego denting.

Last week my 11-year-old son asks me, "Daddy, how many stories have you gotten published?"

He seemed to think I'd put a lot of material out there in the world. I had to tell him the number was one, although I suppose if I go back to some school items I could bump it up a little. And I've done a couple of University of Texas Madrigal Dinner scripts that have been performed, but hey, I don't like to brag.
