"C: The children are wrong. Not really, but there needs to be a third option. And consider this: it takes a young dad a moment to realize that their own childhood is over, and that these funny, adorable kids he loves so much will also eventually shove him into his grave. It's OK for him to be a little childish as he processes this life change. But he should leave your utes out of it. Certain words deserve respect."

A young father experiences a moment of realization that his own childhood has ended as he watches his funny, adorable children grow. He recognizes that the same children he loves will eventually, figuratively or literally, push him toward death. Allowing himself some childish behavior is acceptable while processing this life change and loss of innocence. However, certain boundaries should be maintained; specifically, he should avoid dragging others' possessions or identities—expressed as 'your utes'—into his emotional processing. Certain words deserve respect and should not be misused or weaponized during this transition.
