“They know they cant reconcile that with the picture of Trig having his hair smoothed down by the wet fingers of his loving sister on national television.”
I loved that. So hilarious and cute.
How any person in the world could desire to erase such a beautiful gift is beyond me.
They are "Men Without Chests".
That is a chapter title of C.S. Lewis's book "Abolition of Man" Pub 1943, Lewis is one of Sarah's favorite authors.
Lewis says that men have a head (the intellect) a chest (the heart) and a stomach (appetite). But modern men have no chest (heart).
The heart is where love and compassion are found.
So you husband's buddy may have been a man without a chest.
