They never tell you about real parenthood when you are expecting that magical first baby. The real stuff.
Poops that smells worse than a truck stop.
Boys who won't sleep through the night for three years.
You know, the essentials.
I would love to add a chapter to that missing handbook. Stuff that you would never dream would come out of your mouth. Words that have never before been strung together to make a meaningful sentence.
Stuff like:
Get your finger out of the pit bull's eye.
Followed by, Don't hit the dog in the head with a hockey stick.
And, this morning's favorite: Your eyes will stop leaking if you stop crying. [Can you hear the wailing where you are?]
