I Call Bullshhhhh…

Posted by Andy on April 16th, 2013, under SNAPSHOTS

I call bulls**t! Whenever I see something impossible like this, that’s my immediate reaction. Maybe not always out loud, but sometimes definitely out and plenty loud. I’ve been fooled too many times by the Internet, and before that, by television and film when I was a kid.* * Do you like how I’m making it [...]

Bathroom Privacy… BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Posted by charlie on December 21st, 2012, under SNAPSHOTS

Parenting has been compared to every conceivable activity and career. Anything one could dream up. You’re a prisoner. You’re law enforcement. You’re a slave. You’re a cook. You’re a doctor. You’re a teacher. But have you ever considered that perhaps the most apt description could be that of a space explorer on the vessel that [...]

Jedi Baby

Posted by Andy on April 13th, 2012, under SNAPSHOTS

When I was a kid, I knew this wise old man who was very into mystical Eastern philosophy. I didn’t really have a clue what that even meant beyond the little education I’d received from TV shows and movies. Which should basically tell you I wasn’t just dumb as a rock on the subject, I [...]

When your kid discovers you… uhhh

Posted by Andy on March 16th, 2012, under SNAPSHOTS

When you’re making love it’s like you’re soaring through the sky on the wings of passion. But when your little one opens the door on your passionate flight, in about .00372 seconds, it’s like all the air has been sucked out of the room and you’ve made an emergency nosedive into a solid glacier. If [...]

Baby Ninja

Posted by Andy on March 9th, 2012, under SNAPSHOTS

Ninjas aren’t born ninjas, that’s true… Or is it? Think about it. Babies are apparently born with various ninja characteristics. How many times have you muttered to yourself, totally mystified, “How the heck?” as you pulled something out of your little one’s hand that could not possibly have been reached? Or let out a yelp [...]

Top 2 Reasons You Don’t Have Nice Things Anymore…

Posted by Andy on February 17th, 2012, under SNAPSHOTS

Years ago I bought a leather executive chair that was blonde-colored. Within a week, Cody (at age 6!) wrote Xuck on it (he missed the top line in the F). He used permanent marker and scrawled it in large letters on the broad expanse of the chair’s back. Amid feeling super bummed and being totally [...]

Baby Sleep Positions: “Snow Angels”

Posted by Andy on July 26th, 2011, under INSTRUCTIONAL DIAGRAMS

  Romping around in the snow can be a blast. Especially if you’re small, clumsy and full of seemingly inexhaustible atomic energy, like a kid or baby. There are so many fun things to do and so few ways to get seriously hurt doing them! And it seems like snow angels were invented for babies [...]

Baby Sleep Positions: “The Dog House”

Posted by Andy on June 21st, 2011, under INSTRUCTIONAL DIAGRAMS

  Every dad—actually, every man—knows this sleep position. With or without the baby in bed, whether they’ve experienced it personally or not. The Dog House. This one is basic to human beings and probably has been for all time. There are probably really uncomfortable slabs of rock in the floors of most caves around the [...]
