Being a father can unreason your worldview, or at least make it very flexible, and that can create all sorts of fun and insights.

A working definition of fathering might be this: fathering is the act of guiding a child to behave in ways that lead to the child's becoming a secure child in full, thus increasing his or her chances of being happy and fruitful as a young adult. Clyde Edgerton
