Graham

I'm a full-time dad. I'm a working parent. I'm a mother and a father. I'm a guy who reads parenting books and cookbooks before I go to sleep. I spend my weekends buying tutus. I'm learning to sew.

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The speaker lists the practical roles and skills involved in parenting, from cooking and reading to shopping for tutus and learning to sew. The repeated declarations build a picture of responsibility spread across many tasks. Specific everyday details give weight to the claim of being both mother and father.
