Yesterday afternoon, familiar red lights blinked, alternating left and right. A stop sign appeared and a long yellow metal arm swung into the street. A door swung open. A child stepped down, turned left and went around that arm, looked both ways, and crossed the street. The door closed, the arm swung back into position, […]
A Funny Handbook For Dads This Father’s Day
