I don’t know that much about fathers. I only had one. I read about W***y Loman and Herzog in the Saul Bellow novel, but here I am on a Wednesday in Philadelphia to see my one son, Callum, practice (not even see a match) at Penn.
He deigned to hit w me before the practice and at the end he hit some serves and I gave him a tip to which he replied: “My serve is 10 times better than your serve ever was.”
Do I deserve this insolence? Am I not a good father?
