Cliches


I read a quote on parenthood the other day that I liked. Sharing it requires me admitting that I indulge in the guilty pleasure of reading People magazine online from time to time, which will disappoint my brother. He justifiably detests celebrity magazines as a waste of time.

The quote is from Jason Bateman about his daughter. "Just watching her become a kid, it's kind of cool. Simple things, all the cliché, annoying boring crap you've heard everybody say – it's pretty true."

The other day, AJ was napping on my chest with his little fingers wrapped around my arm and his head with the peach fuzz hair tucked under my chin, and I want to be able to remember that moment when I am 85.
