| Nobody ever rebelled against a fun uncle |

Having kids around is tough, an unending series of compromises of belief. I can't explain to a five-year-old girl that we don't use Aunt Jemima syrup in this house because it's the modern equivalent of a pancake minstrel show. I didn't ever plan on changing someone's pants at Chuck E Cheese or watching The Last Unicorn more than once in my life. These were things in my never column. It makes me feel startingly grown up. I lose all sense of identity when I'm in charge of children. If that makes me a monster, okay. |
