Nature made boys with foreskins, who are we to mess with that.<BR/><BR/>I did have trouble reasoning away the fear that Nathan would be "different" from his classmates. But it helped that in D.C., with a large immigrant population, that the uncircumcised percentage was higher than the nationwide.

(ha ha) And he didn't sit outside the hospital nursery the day Hadley was getting her hearing test and there was a line of boys all getting it down.
