I think me having kids is helpful. It opens up a new little area of your heart.
It's funny how when your kids get sick, they get even cuter when they have a stuffed nose and they mouth breathe.
A lot of people talk to kids like they're idiots. When I'm telling my two-year-old that you don't throw a dish on the floor, I explain it as if they're a 25-year-old that hasn't quite figured it out yet.
