The Joys Of Fatherhood
Today, my 14-month-old son was excitedly slapping his groin while getting his diaper changed. I was repeating the following, out loud, in a baby-ish voice: "You need to be very, very careful with your penis. You're being very dangerous. Very, very dangerous right now."
When I finally caught myself saying these phrases, I laughed and celebrated being a parent. With the possible exception of a visit to a Cambodian brothel, only fatherhood could have yielded those words.
