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 […]
Let’s all sit back and celebrate those moments when something inside us clicks and, faster than thought, we blur into action, when danger slows everything down and we swoop in and save our reckless, seemingly suicidal little bundles of joy.

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? […]

With all the TV shows and PSAs that warned about it, I figured every one in my school would be kidnapped or assaulted at one point or another. I’m not saying education isn’t important.
