SNAPSHOTS
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.
Java – Comic by Lunar Baboon
Lunar Baboon Comics Never let your kids know your weaknesses. At least not until they’ve moved out… Okay, not even then. Maybe coffee isn’t your kryptonite. Maybe it’s that you can’t stand seeing them hurt; watch out, they’ll make ketchup look a Hollywood makeup effect to get out of something. Or maybe you have […]
Force Friday in a Nutshell
Shouldn't have gone to @target tonight. My nerd heart can't take this @starwars nerdgasm. #starwars #starwarstoys A photo posted by Charlie N Andy HowToBeADad.com (@howtobeadad) on Sep 3, 2015 at 8:26pm PDT The entire internet is basically a full-blown nerd paradise right now. This photo represents before or after 12am. Force Friday indeed. What should […]
13 Texts Toddlers Would Send if they Could
Kids are getting their own phones earlier and earlier these days, but I think we can all agree that it’s a TOO SOON situation with kids that haven’t fully mastered things like walking or not drooling or keeping their head upright all the time. Toddlers. BUT! Imagine if they did have phones, and could text […]
Dad “Body-Doubles” for His Wife’s Pregnancy Photo Shoot
I’ve seen some touching, beautifully-captured photos of the rising dawn of a pregnant woman’s belly. Apparently so has imgur.com user druishprincess69, who took pregnancy photos into his own hands… or um… his own belly. You see, when his wife said she didn’t want to do maternity photos, he hired a photographer and posed for MANternity […]
How to Use a Time Out Correctly
This qualifies as a parent hack as far as I’m concerned. Most parents don’t realize the opportunity they’re missing when they send their kids off to the disciplinary Siberia of a Time Out. That they can also take some time out for themselves. We’ve got so much to do as parents. Always. Nonstop. Forever it […]
Crappy Kids’ Jokes That Are So Crappy They’re Hilarious
Their laughter is contagious. Which is good, because sometimes their jokes are so bad, contagion is the only hope for a laugh. They can also be soooooo bad, they’re hilarious. It’s hard not to chuckle when they laughsplode at a joke they’ve just told that makes absolutely no sense, heck!, it may even have below-zero […]
Family Dinner – Fowl Language Comics
Fowl Language Comics I really don’t understand this whole “raising children” thing. I use the “air quotes” because it feels like my version of parenting is false and just wrong. My older son is a VERY picky eater and the subject of fruits and vegetables is so contentious that I am almost at the […]
Scratch ‘N’ Whiff (FOR PARENTS)
Remember Scratch N’ Sniff stickers? If you don’t, then I’m sorry for you, either for your being born too late or for your terrible misfortune of being raised by wolves under a rock. For those of us that do remember rubbing the scent genie out of its goofily illustrated, circular adhesive bottle on trapper keepers […]
Sleep – Scrabble Scribble #16
Whether it’s a cruel wake up call at 4:00am or a brutally sudden interruption of an attempted nap, kids can be relied upon to bring about the swift extinction of the already endangered species of their parents’ sleep. A close friend told me recently that one morning his kids got up way too early (so […]
The Crazy Ways Kids Rename Things (30+ Pictures)
My son walked up to me recently and asked me where the “burger shovel” was. After I was done chuckling, I asked him what he needed a spatula for. He answered, “I need your s-spaatuulaa for my pretend restaurant.” He said the word like he was taste-testing it for an in-depth Yelp review. Kids are […]
