"Are you finding everything OK, sir?" asks the young clerk in the clothing section at Fred Meyer.
"Let me see," I reply. "I'm a 42-year-old first-time father of a 3-year-old who speaks Tamil. I've known her for a week. I've been sent here to buy shoes and underwear. Actually, I could use some help."
She looks more frightened than me and points down the aisle to the baby/toddler section (apparently, the "misses" section is for some older age).
One other observation: Why in the world would you put condoms in the aisle marked "children"? Wouldn't it seem a little late for that? Or is it smart marketing aimed at parents who no longer have the will to be intimate?

That is the funniest thing
That is the funniest thing I've read in a long time! Congratulations on being home with your beautiful daughter. I'm surprised I didn't run into you at Fred Meyer, I was buying shoes for Gabriel there... I could have pointed you in the right direction for the underwear. I've enjoyed reading your blog and am in awe of the huge adventure you have embarked upon. Keep posting pictures they are so adorable!
