On Fatherhood

This morning's trip to Panera was very strange. In addition to this little girl who was possessed (quite close to speaking Aramaic in a demonic tone), there were three little blonde children of the corn. Of course, such odd encounters give rise to thoughts of one's own (future) kids. So, thinking about how children are the product of not only their parents genes but also the environment of their homelife, I made the offhanded remark, "My kids are going to be so messed up."

BRL's reply from across the table, after a moment's pause, "Am I supposed to jump in and disagree here?"

I think that is point of having children; so that we can be responsible for the chaos that is someone else’s life. And you know, if people based having kids on the amount that they thought they would or could screw them up then many of us would not/should not be here…

Here’s to messing up someone else’s life…I mean raising a family…
