A rough overview on recent “Dumb Dads” portrayed in media

All dads aren’t dumb. Much the same way that all women don’t drive poorly and all blondes aren’t airheads. Likewise, all Asians aren’t smart and all black people can’t play basketball.

But enough about blonde Asian women that can’t play basketball; let’s chat about why the media thinks that all dads are dumb. As a dad, I do love a good joke and have been told that I have an engaging sense of humor. Having said that, let’s take a look at some examples that make us think that broken hearted college girls are shaping some media decisions lately.

My Wal-Mart greeter is a World War II hero

I know that the Fourth of July is not the same as Memorial Day. On Memorial Day every year Mommy Mojo and I watch the PBS special that has music and features some of the stories from our soldiers. Mommy Mojo is quite patriotic and over the years it’s rubbed off on me. Continue reading My Wal-Mart greeter is a World War II hero

Hey Dads-The Atlanta Baby & Child Expo is this weekend

Everybody in the Mojo house is excited as we’re expecting our second child in October. Just because we run a parenting blog don’t think that we know everything about being a dad, much less being a father to an infant. Infancy was more than a year ago and I have trouble remembering what we saw on television last night. I think it was Bait Car, but can’t be too sure.

Big Book Bargains in the Atlanta Burbs

I love books. Because of that it’s not too surprising that Baby Mojo loves books. At bedtime either mom or I will read a book to him, then leave his bed light on while he sits in his crib and reads himself to sleep. When we go into to change his diaper later in the night it looks like the Book Town mafia shot down our son with an outline of cardboard children’s books. Continue reading Big Book Bargains in the Atlanta Burbs

An iPad for every student, in the 45th ranking state

Sometimes we stumble across a story so ridiculous that we hope its content and motivation was typed by a room full of monkeys. Alas, such a story popped up on The AJC about Georgia Senate President Tommie Williams who is proposing that middle school students in Georgia receive an iPad, in lieu of text books. Continue reading An iPad for every student, in the 45th ranking state

Daddy Mojo sees a UFO

The other night my wife and I were watching Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Aside from the clothing and cars, that movie has aged very well. When those little spaceships were zipping around Devils Tower my wife said to me, “Do you remember when we saw that UFO?”

I had to think for a moment and then I did remember when we saw a UFO. Continue reading Daddy Mojo sees a UFO
