Chernobyl Diaper. Parental Joy. Fatherly Purpose.
By Greg Schlueter
Our Amazing Gracie had a "gift." Along with every other parent of two years olds on the planet, we were eager to get her potty trained. As were the garbage men. We were losing neighbors. The ozone was depleting. Al Gore was calling. You get the idea.
