Tuesday - The Twin

Today on my drive into work, I was thinking about how becoming a parent has changed me in ways I never expected. For most of my life, I've heard people say whenever someone got arrested for hurting or killing a child, "They'd better hope there aren't any parents on that jury." I found it a curious idea that having a child would make you a less objective juror. As a species, people tend to feel protective toward children in general. Regardless of whether or not we have kids, most of us have little tolerance for people who harm them. Even if you've never had children, I figured, you used to be a child. An objective, child-free person could not be much different than an objective person with children.

But I was wrong.
