[ The strange thing about fatherhood, now that he can experience it as anything besides the random strike of a lightning bolt, is the way it calls to mind everything rotten about his own youth. What they're doing isn't what his father would have done - or his mother, for that matter. And maybe that's where that instinctive worry comes from, their insistence on repressing talk of his sister, rather than letting her loss live in the open. What if they were right? What if he screws up the only kid they have left?
(What if there is no right, and he's going to screw the kid up either way?) ]
I can get something tacky to clash with the rest of them. Maybe an American flag printed one? I bet they have those at the dollar store.
