Ch-ch-Changes

Ben Karlin, author of Things I've Learned from Women Who've Dumped Me, offered the perfect answer to the New York Press in response to being asked about his expectations of becoming a dad:

I’m not going to say it was never the plan, but I never had a strong picture of myself as an adult, and I still have a hard time seeing myself as an adult, but apparently I am one, because I have insurance.

Presumably, he is joined by Tony Hawk — the skateboarding coolest dude on earth — who has never grown up and yet, presumably almost in spite of himself, has become now a father of four, with his daughter Kadence Clover, joining the clan of his older brothers (with a previous wife) Riley, Spencer and Keegan.

Surely, at some point both the humorist Karlin and well known "lost boy" Hawk can expect changes to their life since they're fathers. No doubt that was the expectation of father-of-five Terry Wright as well, although it seems unlikely he or anybody expected his changes as a dad to include turning into a woman against his will.

But even Wright's change pales (sort of) beside the change of Argentinian Raul Prudencio Piñel, who (it is alleged) evolved from sentient human being into his son's dinner.

As one-time gender-bending now father of two David Bowie wrote for every dad, "Just gonna have to be a different man/Time May Change Me/But I Can't Trace Time...."
