A couple nights ago a received a knock on my door around 6PM. I was eating dinner with my family, but I answered the door anyway - after all, in this age of telemarketers and spam, a visit in person from anybody is intriguing.

Standing at my door was a young lady - a college student.
Good evening, she said. Oh - what a cute baby!
I was holding a baby. The young lady extended her hand, rattling off a name I couldn't catch. I adjusted the way I was holding the baby and shook her hand. It was awkward. Her grip was initially limp. My grip was firm.
