Last night, I told my wife to finish her dinner while I chased the kids around in the bedroom.
As the words rolled out of my mouth I suddenly realized how naturally they came out. It wasn’t that long ago when we didn’t have children, and now they are the default mode of living.
As I think about it, yes it has been a crazy hectic rite of passage, but still it felt like the most natural order of things — utterly erasing the world we knew only five years ago.
