Dear Witless, Fort Worthless etc. clever as always. Good thing I never had kids to act like your help requesters. I love the photo of the kid with the spray can and the lighter.

Now, THAT'S what I call positive! After 67 years as a non-parent, Tim, I became the father of two fine stepsons, aged 32 and 20, last fall.
