Warren-the-new-dad, after baby Erynne had been screaming and crying all day: "Right now she's calm. Although that's certainly NOT the trend. Very crouchety. Sigh! May take her for a drive just now. Never fails to calm her down."
I ask him how the other girl in his life is.
"Exhausted mentally and physically. Frustrated. She needs sleep the poor dear. I've volunteered for baby duty tonight."
