[…] It’s too cold to be outside, so we spent last night playing at a Chic-fil-a playground. A stranger walked up to me there and told me I look like Mary Pickford. Amy pouted the whole way home.

She doesn’t fear you enough. Rule by fear, Doug. Its the only way, and it ensures an interesting adolescence.
