My wife asked me to 'just check on the kids' while she was in the shower. I went upstairs. My son was building a tower out of cereal boxes. My daughter was using the tower as a fort. My toddler was inside the fort, eating a handful of Cheerios, looking up at me with absolute confidence. I said, 'Is everything okay in here?' He said, 'I'm the king. You can't come in. This is a sovereign nation.' I said, 'Do you need a snack?'
