100 Days in Office

Owen Enjoys a Laugh at His Critics' Expense

Owen celebrates his 100th day in office today - you may know that the 100 day mark is a political milestone in the US, and politicians have agendas and goals and demands on them to make the first 100 days in office meaningful. You have to silence the critics, show that you are instituting the goals of the people, impress your colleagues and staff with your genuinely good ideas and leadership skills, and bring lots of different movers and shakers together to get it done.

Well. Owen has definitely used his first 100 days to their utmost potential. He's brought lots of people together in celebration, allowed a few non-parents to explore the possibility of becoming parents in the near future, convinced some family members that aging ain't so bad if it means you get a grandchild, and instructed a handful of people how to properly hold a baby.

He's also taught his parents: baby poop is not beholden to the laws of physics, your heart really can melt from a smile, and sometimes all we need in life is someone to hold our hand while we ride in the car.
