Stupid
After Jacob was born a colleague of mine in the Netherlands, who also had a boy, remarked on how much fun it was but with a warning for Ronnie attached. "For the first five years Dad's a hero, after that he's just stupid". I don't know if Jacob is precocious or we're just lucky but both Ron and I have achieved 'stupid' status already, at just three years and ten months. And we were just getting used to basking in the warm glow of hero-dom.
