"Not long ago, I (Stephen) got an emotional voice mail from my wife: “These boys! Call me! Seriously!”
ot my wife: “These boys! Call me! Seriously!”
She sounded fed up, so I took a deep breath and called her back. When she answered the phone, she was on her hands and knees in the bathroom adjacent to our sons’ rooms."
