While sleeping in, not sharing your food and only caring about yourself is awesome, you know, having a kid is okay, too.
Being a dad isn’t just about eating a huge bag of gummy bears as your wife gives birth. It means being comfortable with the word “hero.”

No matter which kids’ book I read to my screaming baby on an airplane, the moral of the story is always something about a vasectomy.

“If airplane safety videos have taught me anything, David, it’s that a mother puts her own mask on first.” —Moira defending her parenting skills.
