The easy answer, for Sophie, who wants to know the identity of her father, is a paternity test. But if she had any sense of logic, there wouldn&#8217;t be a story and certainly not an excuse to bring more than 20 ABBA songs to the stage.            ]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[
Dear Emily: My husband often plays videogames while watching our 2-year-old son. I&#8217;ve asked him not to do that because the games seem very violent, but my husband insists that our son doesn&#8217;t understand what he is watching, and so it doesn&#8217;t matter. How do I convince my husband he is wrong?
