Dads Taking Baby Steps

When Peter Leonard published his first book, Quiver, father Elmore weighed it like a newborn, before noticing that the new author son had dedicated his book to his 45-time published author pop.

When Tori Spelling's newborn Liam was born, she thought he had inherited the soul of her father, television "genius" Aaron Spelling.

So, it appears to be okay for fathers to weigh and (sorta) even be newborns. HOWEVER, they should absolutely not try to join a group of people (i.e., women) who have actually given birth to newborns or an estrogen fueled wraithful wave will wash down upon them, as it did to misguided daddy Gary Traffanstedt, who tried to join the 300-plus moms on sonomacountymom.com.

** It's better than the back of the bus, but dads still have to fight the power that thinks we might not know our place. **
