The Tick (paraphrased)

The Tick 2, originally uploaded by celiathepoet.

From an old friend; the best quote about parenting. Ever.

Everybody was a baby once, Sandra. Oh, sure, maybe not today, or even yesterday. But once! Babies, chum: tiny, dimpled, fleshy mirrors of our us-ness, that we parents hurl into the future, like leathery footballs of hope! And you've got to get a good spiral on that baby, or evil will make an interception!
