I remember when our first child was born. I had determined I was
going to be the world's greatest father. So, when it came time to bring

I had three or four blankets I was going to make sure she didn't get
cold. I went to the hospital with my blankets, I had my car pulled up
to pick up Janet and the baby. I was so proud. I was such a wonderful
father already just four or five days into my new experience. So, I got
