Fussy Father + Red Wine + Fussy Child = Fun Dad
Fussiness becomes fuzziness after glass or two of red wine. A crying baby is just someone who has a little more to say (albeit in a very loud incomprehensible voice). The poop filled diaper is conversation topic to have with the baby. The cleaning of the poop an observation of color and smell. The application of the diaper rash a talk about how diaper rash is worse than the coldness of the cream. The changing of a onesie is a long calm conversation about change. The pee flowing from the baby’s penis to the floor an opportunity to do some cleaning and floor scrubbing.
Songs come more naturally after a glass of red wine as the red wine flows through your veins taking the edge way from the work day, the hours of fussiness, the lack of sleep, the hours of new born crying and being fussy. It allows the adlib lyrics to flow from mind from mouth in various tones and tempos.
A glass of red wine everyday has been stated by doctors and scientists as being good for the body. If you are a fussy father, it could also be your body and mind and a fussy baby.
…At least it is for me.
