Previously, if my wife leaves home for a few hours, it's just about all I can do to keep the children from starving, wandering off, or tearing the house apart. But no longer!
Now I've worked up the courage to venture out with all three boys. The older boys are getting more obedient and Elijah (the youngest) has reached his maternal emancipation. It seems that my boys will be consoled by no one else but Mom for the first several months. But about the time they start crawling, substitutes for Mom (Dad, Grandma, random strangers) become acceptable. Now that Eli is okay with me, we can go to Wal-Mart, or out to eat, or whatever.
As long we don't have any more children, that "Mom" chick is becoming purely superfluous.
