How Date Night Ended:
After years of parent restraint, it felt good to finally throw an adult-sized tantrum.

This is part of a series I’m currently working on called “the first tooth”.
This is part of a an on-going series I am working on about the New Born stage of parenthood. Enjoy!
This is part of a series I am working on called “the Baby Arrives” about the roller coaster period that is the new born stage of parenting. Much has been written about this difficult period from the parent’s perspective, so I thought it would be interesting to take a look from the baby’s perspective.
A friend of mine who has been scanning my drawings for me included a scan of his face. I decided it would make a good “man on the moon” image and took some creative liberties.
His reaction?
“Scarey. Don’t show anyone unless you want to make them uncomfortable.”
“I know I miss much, because I feel it: There is a purity to their everyday world that makes my heart ache. When I walk into their schools, I feel as if I’m walking into a church; the halls are filled with noble souls who are trying to save the world. I am not of that world in the way that nonworking mothers are – I’m more a frequent visitor – and I suspect that my quilt and sadness about that are part of what makes me cranky at home.”
–Kristin van Ogtrop, excerpt from the essay “Attila the Honey I’m Home”
