This is an old but great video of a dad. If you are ever having a bad day, watch this video, you are guarenteed to be crying from laughing so hard. This video has become so successful that there is now a laughman iphone app.

I Already Went to School Dad

My son is changing preschools. Next week he starts at a brand new school where he will no doubt make a lot of new friends. We have been preparing him for weeks for this change. I thought it may be a good idea to have him go for a couple hours this morning as kind of a short trial run so that he wouldn’t be in total shock come Monday. When we got to the school, I asked him if he was going to be brave to which he replied yes. I took him in and sure enough he was a brave little trooper and tried to get involved right away. I was only bringing him in from 7am to 9am at which point I was to pick him up and bring him to his other school for the rest of the day.

I arrived at his new school around 9am and found him outside as his class was on the playground. The staff told me he had a wonderful two hours and seemed to have fun. He was excited to see me. He ran up to me, gave me a hug and told me he had a good time. We got in the car and drove to his other school. When we got there he was very upset. This was not what I was expecting as I figured this would be the easier of the two drop offs of the day. I asked him why he was upset. His response: “I already went to school today. It’s time to go home.” I found this to be quite humorous as it really seems that little kids really don’t have all that great of an understanding of time. He seemed to be interpreting the two hours as a day of school and couldn’t understand why he had to do it again.

5 ways to annoy your kids

My parents were absolute geniuses when it came to annoying me. To this day some of the things they have done still haunt me to this day. Now that I am a father I look forward to passing along that tradition with my own kids. In order to help dads everywhere do the same here are 5 great ways to annoy your kids:

  • When next to your child at the dinner table and they ask you to pass them something, make sure to pass it to them in the opposite direction; that is pass it to the person on the other side of you and have them pass it all the way around. (This works well with large dinner parties)
  • Talk in Rhyme
  • After tucking your child in at night, sing their not so favorite song to them every night.
  • If you have older teens, Inform restaurant staff that it is their birthday multiple times over the course of the year.
  • Speaking of birthdays..When giving a small gift, wrap the gift in a small box and put the gift into a larger box and wrap that one. Repeat until you have enough boxes inside boxes to sufficiently annoy your child.

Brownie Sundae

While at dinner the other night, we decided to try the brownie sundae. Our family is a big fan of brownies, so we always try them at least once at different restaurants. So there we were on Monday night waiting for our dessert when my wife tells my son that we are getting a brownie sundae, to which he replies:

“Not a Brownie Monday, right?”
