A father's cruciform manifesto: 4



I submit in evidence a trivial anecdote (although being a universally experienced anecdote, perhaps not so trivial). The other night, while my wife was at a Bible study, I tried to watch Lost, but the two year-old insisted on yelling, running around, and breaking the blinds while he was supposed to be asleep. What I was thinking, of course, was "Can't I catch a break? Can't I have a moment for myself, to do what I want to do?"

No, of course. I am a parent.
