Fatherly decisions

My entire outlook on life has changed since becoming a father. I must not only look out for the interests of my infant daughter, but also for my wife and myself, lest we fall into the cliches of parenthood. We haven’t ordered anyone to wash their hands before holding Tzofia yet so I think we’ve done a good job thus far.

As I lay down to go to sleep ideas jump into my mind. Rules of the household. I will share these with you as I continue on this wonderful journey of fatherhood.

As far as our family is concerned there is no Barney. He will be a non-entity in our household. There is no Barney.

I will never lie to my daughter. Except if she inquires about the military prison down the road. I will tell her it is a “clown factory.”

“Onesie” is a word I can do without. I had never heard it before I entered Babyworld. Sounds like a word Rachel Ray would give to a disposable kitchen item. “It’s a onesie! Get it? Because you use it one time!” It is forbidden to use the word “onesie” in our home. These outfits are referred to as “uniforms” or “costumes.”
