I spent a lot of time with my dad, he worked at home. When I was 3 and 4 and would misbehave, he would say "When I was a little girl, I didn't do that." I knew caterpillars changed to butterflies, and pollywogs to frogs, so for a while I thought I could grow up to be a daddy. My mother disabused me of that notion, when she heard it.
