Posted under INSTRUCTIONAL DIAGRAMS

We’re teaming up with Clorox to tell some more honest stories of the misadventures of parenthood.   No one ever says they want to grow up to live in a never-ending wonderland of trash and junk that would make a hoarder teary-eyed with envy. But a lot of us did say we wanted to grow […]

Posted under VIDEOTAPE

Some of the things we experience in public restrooms with our kids are best blacked out of our memories. Taking them to go “potty” is rough enough at home, but a trip to a public restroom is like napalm on a train wreck. This video by Matt and David (featuring Matt’s wife, Leila) hilariously demonstrates […]



Dad Jokes Hall of Shame

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

What people are calling “dad jokes” nowadays, I always thought of as kids’ jokes, but I guess kids grow up, reproduce and continue vigorously tossing around these goofy groaners.

  “I am not a LEGO builder, I am a LEGO artist.” -Lucas (2015, 6 years old)   You know a 6yo kid means business when they use “I am” instead of “I’m” when they’re saying something. We were impressed. I’d just complimented him on what a good LEGO builder he was and he turned […]
