Part of the reason men get so jealous in relationships is because they don’t want to be cuckolded into raising someone else’s child.  Women are much less concerned about this as the maternity of children is readily discernible; the paternity, of course, is much less discernible.  While I’ve never truly questioned Toren’s paternity, it’s become…

I took Toren in to UT on the Saturday of Gasparilla hoping there would be boats going up and down the river.  There were and he enjoyed watching them.  But he eventually wanted to go inside, so we did.  I took him up to one of the upper floors of Plant Hall (the famous building…

Debi was doing the laundry one day and Toren wanted to go see what she was doing.  I went with him, and, seeing the clothes dryer empty, had a brilliant idea: Why don’t I put Toren in the clothes dryer? Now, before you call child protective services on me, first think back to your own…

Debi brought home some cupcakes from a work function one night.  Toren took one look and decided they were his:

Another of Toren’s new favorite activities: pulling all the wipes out of the holder and throwing them everywhere:

Toren really hasn’t been that interested in stuffed animals or dolls of any sort.  At least, he wasn’t until about a month ago when he, unprompted, picked up his bear, Carol (named after the person who gave it to him) and decided to play with her.  He started out wrestling her, then going for a…
