Nope. That's my answer, but I ain't telling it to my other half. A wonderful miracle(and I don't use this word lightly) is growing in my wife's womb, and as amazed as I am that this little bundle of personality is so safe from the numerous things a human body goes through each day in sitting, standing, laying down, getting up, rolling, I feel as equally unprepared. Yes, I'm talking about a baby.
People talk about teaching a baby, a child so much. After all, that's what all those books everywhere are about. Teach your baby, teach your child. It's poppycock. Your child will do what they see you do. If you want them to be a good team player, have them watch team sports, like baseball on your lap. If you want them to read the Bible, read it yourself. And if you want them to cross the crosswalk instead of jaywalking, do it yourself. The problem is... this isn't one person, this is husband and wife... and being a great example all the time is something I'm not too sure I am.
