Daddy Vader Says… Victory
When you’re a kid, parents can be a little like Daddy Vader. Incredibly rad but at the same time intimidating in a way. Playing card games with him has to be a little more exciting than with anyone else. When he throws down, it’s a little more down than anyone else, right? At least when […]
My Kid Just Said… #39
“I watewwed da pwants!” [Big smile] “…By going PEE PEE!” -Lucas (2013, 4 years old) This was the first time my littlest son peed outside. On nature (neighborhood shrubs count as nature, right?). We’ve all had it happen. No bathroom. No diaper. Not enough time to make it to either. One can almost hear the […]
Milk In My Sippy Cup (Remix)
I like to make and listen to music. I’m not very good at making it, but I enjoy listening to it. Sometimes, my son will bang on things and I get ideas for melodies or beats. But, again, I’m not super talented at that stuff. This dad, however, is… What do you guys think? ““ […]

When it comes down to it though, some fails are so hilarious they’re wins. I can’t judge, though. I’ve never hearted the internet age-old convention of <3 because it always looked like a sideways […]
5 Reasons Your Wife Hates You
Marriages can be tough. Heck, working together with human beings in any capacity can be rough business, but in this case you’re jumping into the foxhole with someone who splits electricity bills with you and sees your junk constantly. Or less constantly, depending on your foxhole schedules. I’ve been with my partner in crime for […]
Nude Tax Advice
Like two children squirming in front of the principal, my wife and I sat beside each other in front of our accountant’s slab of a desk. Going over all our papers for filing, he gave us some really good news about a specific point. We looked at each other and chuckled with relief, and I […]
5 Years Ago This Very Minute…
I found out we were having our first baby five years ago to this very minute. Rather than tell you about it, why don’t I show you… I was at a staged reading of a friend’s script. We finished up and I felt this urgency from my wife, Avara. It was an energy like I […]
