How To: Get A Baby To Clean The House
This man. We’ve written about him before but the hits just keep coming. Is it black magic? Is it some sort of zookeeping expertise that allows him to corral and train babies? Is he a toddler whisperer? WHY CAN’T HE HELP MY KIDS DO WHAT I ASK? If anyone knows the secret to this father’s […]
Yesterday – Scrabble Scribble #17
A kid’s sense of time is a bit Alice-in-Wonderland-y. Asking them questions related to time or dates is bit like discussing history with the Mad Hatter after he’s had eleven shots of Fireball and you’ve been stuffed with some highly questionable mushrooms. It’s kaleidoscopically grim in terms of accuracy or sanity. Probably best to just […]
Do You Look As Bad As These Famous Cartoon & Fictional Characters Before Coffee?
There are coffee experts. And then there are those who aren’t, but are experts at being abysmally tired. A lot of them are parents. We try to become experts at making ourselves not so tired. A lot of us turn to the liquid wonder of caffein, but we tend to look and feel like absolute […]
Dadding Smarter, Not Harder
Necessity may be the “mother of all invention” but laziness is its father. At least for me. I know dads don’t have the market cornered on lazy ingenuity, of course. And it’s not really “laziness” to have a lip-chewing dislike for performing a thousand tedious tasks, a million times over and over again, throughout the […]
My Wife Just Said… #271
I can’t really contradict her. Not when I have days where my zipper was down more than it was up. And, it’s true, there’s also my lovely fart-singing voice. We live in a world where adulthood isn’t the pressed slacks and wingtip shoes it used to be. For a lot of us, now it’s a […]
Then and Now for Parenthood (6 Fowl Comics)
Like holding a tiny, saved onsie up to your lanky growth-spurting kid, it’s fascinating to compare the way parenthood and family was to how they are now. We can take a more focused view of our family, when we ourselves first had a babies vs when they became kids, and we can widen the perspective […]
6AM TODDLER Energy Beverage (Bad Product Idea #20)
One might think this was actually a good product idea. Maybe the best energy drink ever conceived, but no. So shower-cry sadly it is not. This energy drink wouldn’t turbocharge you with raw pulse-pounding power when you wanted it. 110% nope. Every kid-owner already knows. No matter what time of day or night, it’d just […]
Dad Jokes Hall of Shame – Part 4
Father’s Day is right around the corner and you know what that means! A full-on, consequence-free license to Dad Joke at will! A lot of you loved/hated the
My Wife Just Yawned… #269
I guess I should be glad that she’s still willing to push through the exhaustion and power-lift her lead-heavy, kryptonite eyelids to stay up with me. Though, honestly, the number of shows episodes and ends of movies we’ve had to rematch because of this has to be in the triple digits now. She doesn’t snore, […]
An HONEST Kid-Prepared Father’s Day Menu
Ah, Father’s Day breakfast! For families that celebrate the day with a special breakfast, it usually starts with Mom whipping up some food favorites for the dad of honor and presenting them herself, with the child enthusiastically waving a card or a school project made of 50% construction paper and 50% paste. Maybe in the […]
