Yesterday I was watching an episode of the family guy where Brian, the dog, comes to find his long lost GF. He discovers that the GF had a son from him. GF is in a bad shape and so she leaves son to the Brian's home. Brian gradually forms a bond with the son and start feeling fatherly. Now what is remarkable about the story is how much I could identify with the fatherhood part of it. There is a scene where Brian is sitting in a bar with family guy gang and Peter goes "Brian what will happen if your son fell out of the window". As soon as Brian hears this, he closes his eyes and start shaking his head. He is being protective. A few days earlier, my son was leaning on the mosquito net of an open window. I was so scared. From then on, I keep that window closed. My mind keep playing the imagined scenario when the filmsy mosquito net fails under the weight of my son and he falls down. I can't take this thought out of my mind. I can certainly feel the fatherhood.
