Maximumble: Play with Food
I can’t tell whether the thing my sons do with food could be considered playing with it, but they sure do mess around with it. Is there such a thing as food bullying? In an event, distracted eating seems to be a universal theme. ““ Join Maximumble’s Facebook page: GO HERE! Check out his […]
Zach Galifianakis Does Standup For Preschoolers
A few of us have imagined what it would be like to take a standup comedian and put him in a room full of kids to try out his jokes. As dads, we’re always testing new material on our kids. Some of it flops and some hits the mark. Mostly, poopy and farty jokes get […]
Maximumble: Baby Brother Toys
As a brother myself, I have some idea of how hard things are for Finn. A new, smallish person invaded his life and he was forced to share his parents. It’s brutal. But nothing says brotherly love like seeing his younger brother, Arden, grab for one of his toys. Did you have a sibling? […]
Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark (Amazing Video)
The ability for kids to bring toys and objects to life is one of their coolest super powers. A doll, stuffed animal or action figure, or even a bug, a stick, a booger, anything can become a companion or character for the little make-believe masters. Watch this amazing video and try not to drool or […]
Ryan Gosling’s Childhood Video Teaches Us Everything
There are so many parts of parenting that can feel cruel and unusual in their punishing qualities. Timeouts, if you do them. Teaching your kids to tie their shoes, if velcro isn’t handy. You name it. But I’d like to take a second and propose that blackmailing your kid might be a good idea. Case […]
Maximumble: Band-Aid Parent
Sometimes I walk into work and it’s like everyone knows I have kids. Maybe it’s the stains on my clothes or bags under my eyes. I can feel the child-free eyes boring holes into my soul. And then I remember that these things are badges. They’re my contribution to those without children. Scaring them […]
“Bed Time” part 2 : Convos With My 4-Year-Old
Telling a made-up story to a little supposed-to-be-asleeper can turn into a serious collaborative effort. Make Believe is a top skill on their résumé, so it’s no surprise when they make a creative power play in a storytelling production. Matt and David go next-level on this follow-up installment of Bed Time (Part 1) with some […]
Saturday Morning: With Kids Vs. Without Kids
Here’s a painfully funny and accurate before-and-after comparison by @robfee, showing how a person’s Saturday morning goes WITH and WITHOUT the wild, miniature humans we call kids. For those of you with kids, you’re probably laughing or simply rolling your eyes with really breathy been-there-done-that sighs. For those of you without kids, pay close attention […]
Sesame Street’s ‘House of Cards’ Parody Wins My Vote
Have you guys noticed how on point Sesame Street has been about their online content lately? It’s almost disconcertingly good. They always seem to have something that communicates to grownups as effectively as it teaches kids about a subject. And for that I am grateful. They have a long history of amazing parodies, from True […]
Maximumble: Dessert
Obviously, Chris Hallbeck has been to my house before. Or many times. I literally could not get my older son, Finn, to eat anything even if I were dying of a gunshot wound or some disease that could be cured by eating new foods. But I like Chris’ style. I, too, wouldn’t be able […]
