My Role: Schrodinger's Dad

After riding in the car with my son in the back seat, I've concluded that according to his point of view, my existence or non-existence is directly related to his ability to see or not see me at any given time. Also, I've found that if I don't exist for more than a few seconds to a few minutes, my son begins a sort of mournful wailing that can only be cured by my sudden renewed existence...usually with food and a clean diaper in hand.
