Doctor Dad and the cyclopean Venus Flytrap toddler

One day Toodler Mojo decided to sleep late.  Recently Toddler Mojo had been filled with mucus; the pack of snails had indeed bum rushed this helpless toddler and turned him into a slimy and angry little man.  He needed to sleep late.  However, upstairs my wife said, ‘sweetie, can you come up here?’

Guys know that tone of voice.  That tone of voice either says, please come here and explain what you’ve done or there is a genuine problem here.  Continue reading Doctor Dad and the cyclopean Venus Flytrap toddler

A Dad channels Indiana Jones to purchase a Kate Spade purse

Remember the scene from Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade where Indy enters the chamber of the ancient knight?  Indy looks around at all of the cups, grabs one of them and then drinks a gulp of water before killing all the Nazis.  I had to buy a purse for my wife and it was like that, except there were no Nazis and I didn’t get to meet an ancient knight; although the cashier was a good bit older than me.

A dad and the communication stages of the Toddler

The 17 month old toddler is a magical, highly excitable creature that still has trouble communicating to mom and dad.  While the toddler’s point gets made, it lacks a certain finesse.  In observing our toddler we’ve determined that a 17 month old has three forms of verbal communication: Chinese Baby, Bobcat Goldwaite and The Singing Frog, Continue reading A dad and the communication stages of the Toddler

The evolution of guy to husband to father: The Wardrobe

DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do-Cutting down a Tree

Before reading any farther, ask yourself these questions.    Is the tree in the middle of the forest?  Am I a lumberjack?  If the answer to either of those questions was “No”, then you should not cut this tree down.

The particular tree in question for this dad was a dead 60 foot tall pine that was standing in the way of progress.  Continue reading DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do-Cutting down a Tree

A Dad and his gift card stand united for Mom

Gift cards were probably invented by a man.  This man may or may not have been a dad, but it wouldn’t surprise me if that were the case.  This dad had probably purchased, once too often a blouse, skirt or moo moo that were not the color or style that his spouse wanted.

In theory a job as a DJ is fun and glamorous.  Continuing that theory, a job as a DJ in a strip club must then be even more exotic.  All you’re doing is playing music for ladies to undress to, what could be hard about that?  However, a job like that job is nothing to go into half cocked, it requires attention to detail and concentration.

Let’s imagine a more innocent time in 1993; the biggest news in nudity was that a show on ABC called NYPD Blue was casting extras who didn’t mind getting naked.  Thankfully, for insecure middle aged men everywhere, Lt. Sipowitz was available and more than willing to go as full monty as 10:00 PM allows. Continue reading Jobs my son will hopefully never have: Strip club DJ
