...just chauffeuring that's required. Fathers need to stimulate their children intellectually and emotionally just as much as mothers do, whether that means helping with homework or listening to a child's problems. In cultural terms, this is a seismic shift. Bear in mind that half a century ago, as men moved from villages to cities-or overseas-to find work, they had very little contact with their sons.

But make sure it ends with Brown?s trademark ?Hey!? - that quick, high-pitched syllable that exploded from him with seismic suddenness, like the bark of an electrocuted schnauzer...
