River, after getting his braces on, walking into Whole Foods with me while I tried to get him to hold my hand: “No”
Me: “Why not?”
River: “Because I have braces now”
Me: “And there’s a correlation between having braces and not holding my hand?”
River: “Yes. I’m a big kid now”
Me: “But daddy still holds my hand”
River: “But you’re husband and wife, so it’s ok”
