Family Rule #2: Nobody goes to prison.

Mostly, this rule is in place to protect Ryan from himself. He has a fabulous mind that naturally sees the most effective, logical way to do something—from cleaning our house to arranging a schedule to robbing a bank. If he were a criminal, he would be a criminal mastermind. But he’s not a criminal, and I would like very much to keep him that way. Therefore: family rule #2.

Did you know that 1% of American adults are in jail? With any luck, however, none of them will be related to me. I know it’s pretty basic, but I figure if I can get married and raise a family where nobody dies young or gets sentenced to jail, I’ll have gone a good way towards getting what I want out of life.
