The Russian Father
He looked a little tired, but nearly giddy on Wednesday morning. Andrei Kirilenko had a new kid, and he was having a great time talking about him.
Kirilenko became especially animated when describing how his four-year-old son Fedor reacted to the arrival of his new brother, Stepan, on Tuesday. "He didn't know what to do. We said, 'He's your brother, go hug your brother,' but he tried to touch him real soft," Kirilenko said. "He said, 'Grandma, come take care of him, I want him to grow up fast so I can play hide and seek with him.' It was so funny."
Of course, so is Kirilenko, as always. As we walked down the hall, I noted how gangly his new baby is -- 8 pounds three ounces, but more than 24 inches long! So I asked him, who does the infant look like, him or his wife Masha?
Without missing a beat, Kirilenko cocked his head as though puzzled and said, "Mmmm -- he looks like neighbor."
