I thought at first you were writing about my 3 sons when they were little, and I was thinking, wow, how did she know?

On the streets of NYC, I once saw two brothers, about 2 and 4, run up to a parked fire truck. The driver exited and signed a picture book about firefighters for the boys. It touched my heart and I immediately called my dad, who is a retired Philadelphia firefighter.

Kinda made me want to have a boy :)
