“SHARK!” : Convos With My 4-Year-Old
Why watch Jaws or Sharknado when you can have a shark panic attack playing with your kid? I love how he immediately jumps into pretend mode. Those kids do train us well.

My Son’s Receding Hairline
Of my many faults, some stand out more than others in my day-to-day activities.

Kid’s Hilarious Reactions to His Dad’s Race Car Driving
Meet Anton (YouTube user Toxa Avdeyev) and his adorable son. He drifts. Anton, not his son. And not “drift” like a cowboy in a Western who blows into one-horse towns with a 6-shooter and no sh*ts to give. He drifts as in driving his race car around like a feisty kitten tearing around on freshly-waxed […]
Things I Wanna Do, But Don’t Want My Sons To Do… #1
Parenting can feel a little duplicitous sometimes. You tell your kids to get sleep, and then you don’t. You tell them to eat certain vegetables when you can’t stand them.
