Old Wahoo's First Law of Family Dynamics states that with three or more children, one child shall be in meltdown mode at all times in order for there to be equilibrium in the universe. The one exception to that rule is when all three children have meltdowns at the same time, as chaos supersedes all laws.

Meltdowns
Father's Day was hot, and when the heat is on, some of us melt.
Old Wahoo sure did when his family took him to Comerica Park for Father's Day. In one of the low moments of fatherhood, Old Wahoo erupted at the Multicultural Three Stooges in a surface parking lot in Detroit after a South Asian man told me I didn't know how to drive. Eventually, I regained my composure, but I acted like a jerk. Sorry.
Fortunately, 2-year-olds can match meltdowns. (Unfortunately, I have 34 years on him.) The Moose was upset we left the ballgame, and cried "Tigers! Tigers!" until he fell asleep. Aside from the screaming - and who could blame him after his father's performance - it's kind of cool that he's such a passionate fan.
