Parenting is like firefightingYou put out one flame (diaper changes, tantrums, breaking dishes, starvation) while the other flames escalate (fighting
over light sabers, punching
brothers, running into the road with no pants in 4 degree weather, flooding the toilet, dumping apple juice all
over the floor) and you can try the best you can but you are only 1 firefighter and you got 4
raging flames about to burn your house down and very rarely are all 4 flames extinguished.
Racked by guilt
over his older
brother's childhood death and stuck in the dead - end town of Brewster, New York, he turns his
rage into victories running track.
