5. Your family dinner conversations now include her sending you live to the next person to speak.

4. He’s talking about sweet 16s more than he usually does.

3. Your husband has just added “whoever wins the Patriot League” to your daughter’s list of potential colleges.

2. His idea of sweet-talking you is saying, “I’d like to advance in your region.”

1. When reading to your son, your husband no longer has Cinderella meeting a prince but meeting a Duke in the second round.
