The second Dear Toasters letter comes from a postpartum woman who read a flirtatious Father's Day text — 'Baby is so lucky to have you as a daddy' — on her husband's phone from a single female coworker with no children of her own. Then her husband came home with a watch and baseball tickets allegedly from 'all the staff.' Jackie and Claudia parse the situation carefully: texts like this can be explained away as overly enthusiastic people who text everyone on holidays, and single women don't always calibrate appropriately.

Their verdict: these are not postpartum hormones. Something is off — ask more questions, and watch the behavior going forward.

Robby Hoffman is the 7th of 10 children raised in a Hasidic household in Montreal, where the family was poor and comedy was a survival mechanism.
