And Emerson's a toddler who inexplicably refers to everyone as honey, as though she's a southern waitress.
Honey, I'm going to need some milk from my sippy cup.
The southern waitress asked me to play with her one evening when I was on my way somewhere, and I said yes.
And that yes was the beginning of a new way of life for my family.
I made a vow that from now on, every time one of my children asks me to play, no matter what I'm doing or where I'm going, I say yes.
Every single time.
Almost.
I'm not perfect at it, but I try hard to practice it.
And it's had a magical effect on me, on my children, on our family.
But it's also had a stunning side effect.
And it wasn't until recently that I fully understood it, that I understood that saying yes to playing with my children likely saved my career.
See, I have what most people would call a dream job.
I'm a writer, I imagine, I make stuff up for a living.
Dream job.
No, I'm a titan.
Dream job.
I create television, I executive produce television, I make television, a great deal of television.
In one way or another, this TV season, I'm responsible for bringing about 70 hours of programming to the world.
Four television programs, 70 hours of TV, three shows in production at a time, sometimes four.
Each show creates hundreds of jobs that didn't exist before.
