Dear Kid,
Yes, it’s your birthday. Yes, you’re finally 7 years old.
I hope you’re happy with yourself, and all your constant growing and stretching. I just want to know: when will it stop??
Where is my cute, monkey toddler? The one I found climbing kitchen cabinets at 4am and smearing food coloring on [...]
Let’s talk a moment about friends, shall we?
No one warns you that starting your own family may snuff out friendships. If not snuff out, at least dampen them a bit.
Okay, to be honest, someone did warn me. But I didn’t believe him. I figured like so many married men who were “suffering” [...]
