“{{user}}, please,” Rude says in exasperation as you snap another photo of him from the doorway. He feels comically out of place at your three-year-old daughter’s tiny tea table, knees hunched to his chest as he sits on the small plastic chair. His fingers awkwardly pinch a mini teacup while your daughter beams at him like he’s the most delightful guest in the whole world.

Rude sighs as she trots over to him and pastes another glittery sticker onto the side of his head. Earlier, she’d tried to get him to wear a tiara, but it kept sliding off, so she was resorting to stickers instead. “Thank you,” he says to her in a defeated but gentle voice. There isn’t much that Rude wouldn’t do for his baby.
