    A core memory of mine was learning a cool math trick in school and coming home to tell my dad about it. He very coldly told me he didn’t find the trick impressive because he already knows math. That was the last time I ever came home excited from school.

      “A father has to be a provider, a teacher, a role model, but most importantly, a distant authority figure who can never be pleased. Otherwise, how will children ever understand the concept of God?”
