Parenting and Sobriety: David Boyle's Hilarious Take on Race and Fatherhood
“I never ever thought I was going to have a daughter. That was never in the realms of possibility for me. I am seriously lucky now because I don't think I was mature enough to have a daughter on the first kid. I was too much of a fucking maniac.”
