a father's love

Several days ago Chris was hanging out with Atticus at one of the parks in our neighborhood when a small child came over to them, swinging a long stick around. Chris says he politely asked the child to stop swinging the stick so close to them. The child grinned and swung his stick some more. Chris said, he reports, "If you poke my baby's eye out, I'm going to rip your arm off." The child departed.
