Guilt and Robot Cops

Ugh i almost missed a fatherhood friday.

We’ve both been sick as hell for the last few days.  Like, hacking and spitting up mucous in the middle of the night sick.  Fever, cold rag on forehead sick.  Lots of dry heaving, too tired to make out sick.

Here there were no warnings about baby bumpers, or steady breathing, or even amusing [...]
