They say kids say the darndest things and I’m sure that’s true. Children, especially young ones, lack the filter that comes from an understanding of social grace.

Justin came into this world right on time, at the very last minute of his predicted due date, May 31, 1990, at 11:59 pm, much to the delight of my doctor. He was one of those babies that you just knew was special. I still remember the moment the nurse placed his 8 pound, 6 1/2 ounce body on my chest for the first time. He lifted his head, looked around, screwed his face up in displeasure, and wailed. He’s been putting the world to rights ever since.
