Clay's inimitable parenting style

"Go to bed. Time to go," Clay intoned at Max. Max wandered in the general direction of his room, and Clay burst into song. "Good night, sweet heart, well it's time to go-oh," and lower voiced, "to-o your bed." Back to regular voice, "before you get punched i-in the nose," and down, "by-y your dad."

"Dad, you are awesome," Max called, on his way down the stairs. "When you sing, you are AWESOME."

"Really?"

"Yup, because you make up all these words, and I never know what you're going to say. Awesome."

"Thanks, buddy. Go to bed. Seriously."

  • I discovered a long time ago that writing of the small things of the day, the trivial matters of the heart, the inconsequential but near things of this living, was the only kind of creative work which I could accomplish with any sincerity or grace. - E.B. White

  • I felt that I was packaging something as delicately pervasive as smoke, one box after another, in that room, where my only duty was to describe reality as it had come to me – to give the mundane its beautiful due. -John Updike
