The Perfect Role Model

Nothing ticks off my husband "Gavino"  more than NYC shops catering to children of the upwardly mobile. Peering into the contrived commercial world of children - as conceived of by adults - just gives us another excuse for why we never wanted children.  As we passed such a venue on Hudson Street in the West Village, I pointed to a cool middle-aged Dad holding a coherent conversation with his determinedly independent toddler. My example of the joys of parenting was none other than Comedy Central's Jon Stewart out for a Saturday morning stroll with his child.
