When my daughter was 2, she came home from my mom’s house with a new word in her vocabulary.

I didn’t know it until she dropped something and yelled F — K!
Probably, I shouldn’t have laughed. But I did.

Parenting is the world’s longest job. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For the rest of our lives. If we’re lucky. Mostly fulfilling, often frustrating.

Without pay, too. Unless you write about it. Right?
