It serves us well for a few years, and then drifts away. Or maybe it is beaten out of us by cruel adult conformity. Either way, toddlers possess […]
I was called for jury duty this summer. After receiving the summons, my first thought was to contact the courthouse and ask to be excused from duty. I am the primary care provider in my house, and my kids have nowhere to stay while I’m gone.But then my wife’s schedule opened up so that she […]
