Hyperbole

Today is my first Fathers' Day where I am to be honored as a father. It's still pretty weird to me -- in my mind Fathers' Day is still for "old people", I'm supposed to just honor them. I suppose I'm going to have to get used to it -- but I can't help but feel out of place. I guess it's part of being a Gen X Parent -- I'm not sure when exactly I was supposed to have grown up, and yet I'm fully responsible for another human being, indeed, a defenseless child.
