At Jenn’s staff holiday party a couple of weeks ago, I ended up talking to another husband – a former teacher and current ironworker – who has lived long enough to have acquired a great deal of wisdom that he’s able to sum up in three cardinal rules. At least two of the rules apply as much to infancy as they do to advanced age, so I related to them as a young dad. The third… well, it’s universal.
- Never pass up a bathroom.
- Never miss an opportunity for a nap.
- Never let an erection go to waste, even if you’re by yourself.
