Abstract

"Dad! Stop touching that!" my 17-year-old daughter yells as her father trails his hand along the purple brick wall running the length of our local beer deli. She pivots towards me, exasperation in her voice. "TBH, raising parents is really hard." Her father turns back, after touching the surface one more time for good measure. He laughs wickedly.
