Ouch. Methinks clever remarks about family jewels and minivans usually come from single guys — the same kind who crack endlessly about “the ball and chain” — not fathers of children. Sticking to one or two offspring, are we, to avoid apparently less manly forms of transportation?

PS: Of course, I have two kids…and also a nice red 2002 Dodge Caravan in the driveway. (At least the wife drives it.) But I want to see Jonah pack up the spouse, Lucy, Cosmo, and maybe K-Lo avoiding a plane trip in a macho car. Perhaps an El Camino with Astroturf?
