Solon waxes parental

In a year when Solon regaled us with his vast knowledge of all things political, he occasionally waxed parental. In what is one of my favorite posts of 2008, Playground Etiquette, Solon contemplated how to teach Sweet Toddler J about sharing at the playground. I rank this among my favorites because it got us away from the election, if only briefly, to an issue that is, while mundane, pivotal to most of us who blog regularly at the Situation. And, frankly, who among us hasn't gotten annoyed because someone has spent too much time on the swings?
