Shoutout to the bad singer parents who sing to their kids anyway. I sing to my daughter each night. Someday she'll realize I'm terrible: off-key, off-rhythm, off. Someday we'll laugh together about my singing. She'll roll her eyes, plead with me to stop. But I never, ever will.

Who else got an email with scholar rankings from ScholarGPS? I was ranked #4 in lifetime scholarship about "literature." I have never in 30 years of scholarship written a book, chapter, or article about literature.
