Pretty self-explanatory. These are pictures. Sometimes they’ve got words and sentences and all that jazz, but they’re mainly posts of visually-driven stuff.
Dogs Tolerating Kids Magnificently (14 GIFs)
The world would be a much better place if we all had the patience and forgiveness of most dogs. It’s positively amazing the crap they can endure and come through with their irrepressible, tail-wagging cheerfulness. Babies and kids are a true test of most living things, and our four-legged friends seem to pass the test […]
Pokémon NO – The Game App for Non-Players
Some of us don’t have even half a percent of a clue how to play, but the online/real-life game Pokémon GO is a wildfire sensation! Eyes glued to their smartphones, people are swarming the streets and alleyways and random corners of parks and all kinds of normally-boring places to “catch ’em all.” Sadly, not everyone […]
Beware, Kids Catch On Quickly (6 Comics)
Parents should raise their kids with a good, moral sense of honestly. But until then, it doesn’t hurt to use deception a little to your advantage. While you still can! Not dark traumatizing lies like “you’re adopted” or “some parents eat their kids when they talk back,” but little white and fluffy lies like “they […]
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 […]
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
Forest of Memories
A photo posted by Charlie Capen (@charliecapen) on Jun 11, 2016 at 9:42pm PDT Around five years ago, I got my son Finn’s name inscribed on my arm by this man, Dr. Woo. Last weekend, I got myself an early Father’s Day present and etched Arden’s name on my other arm. It felt like things […]
