So what should a dad do? Use the ladies room?

“The Gift of Fear” by Gavin de Becker is often recommended in situations like this. Tons of awesome advice in there.

Have you got a website? I need more wall-sized relief maps in my life.

Best bet for a lot of eyes is to wait for tomorrow night’s social if you can.
