Babies scare me. They always have, and having a child of my own did not change this. I attribute my own imp’s survival to no less than divine intervention. So you can imagine my surprise when our good friends entrusted their beloved 4-month old daughter to my care recently.
The drop-off was smooth, with only a fear tears [...]

In an attempt to resuscitate an uncharacteristically lifeless evening, we made a fateful decision to dine out last night. We considered our usual fare of kid-friendly Cici’s or super-speedy Los Bravos, but ultimately succumbed to the temptation of Texas Roadhouse’s Tuesday 99¢-kid meals.
