Hard to top this nugget from Cicero's Orator: "I have often used [pathos] with so much emotion that I held a baby boy in my hands while delivering the close of a speech; another time, by making my noble defendant stand and picking up his small boy, I filled the forum with wailing and lamentation."

The number of people responding to this with complete earnestness makes me realize that there are now several generations of people younger than me who didn't grow up watching the Naked Gun trilogy every time it aired on basic cable. Sad.

I cannot stop thinking about this piece as I sit here next to my sleeping three year old daughter: open.substack.com/pub/annawhar... As one of the commenters says, not all men. But always men.
