My six-year-old son used to want me to do everything for him—from getting him dressed in the morning to blowing his nose. After his last birthday, however, he has developed a desire for independence. He now insists on doing things for himself and often gets livid if you offer assistance.
While my husband and I don’t mind allowing him some freedom, there are certain tasks that we like to have some supervision over. Last week, for example, he tried to pour himself a glass of juice only to have the two-liter container slip from his hands and flood the kitchen with sugary liquid. After this little debacle, we invested in a twist and spout to give him more control when he pours.

After five years of marriage, I began to suspect that my wife was cheating on me. She would constantly come home from work late, and often give me vague excuses and become defensive when I confronted her. The suspicions became too much for me, and I decided that I had to take matters into my own hands.
Last month I had to go to China for two weeks on a business trip, and decided to employ an infidelity test kit on my return. To my chagrin, I found several incriminating pieces of evidence that indicated my wife had been unfaithful. My divorce was finalized last week, and now I am a happy bachelor once again.
