Dad fits George Bernard Shaw’s description of one kind of stereotypical Englishman: “The Englishman thinks he is being moral when he is merely being uncomfortable.”
So, it is Saturday. You hear sleet on the windows. Your kid is playing quietly with his tiger. My normal impulse would be to snuggle, and see if I can get my wife interested in a little heavy breathing.
I’m normal as far as my family is concerned. As Mortimer Brewster said, “Insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops.” (Cary Grant in ‘Arsenic And Old Lace’).
Going out in the cold dry weather is good. I luv walking in cold weather which is above 30. However running in the sleet is dangerous. Cars can not stop and u can be run over. Also Calvin’s father should join a gym and run on a threadmill.

Why does a kid who philosophies so much enjoy pushing a toy truck around?

Naa, that’s not normal. Normal is waking up at 4:15 every morning to read your favorite strips before getting ready to go to work. Now that’s normal.

The better question is what’s healthy, not what’s normal. Most folks in this society’s normal is definitely not healthy.
