Reminds me of something my youngest said when he was about 4.His youngest son keeps his #### shiny and clean. It's tacitly understood from the post that the older son and Dad do not.
Oh Baby- LCD Soundsystem: "I like it, it sounds like music they play in restaurants."
Other Voices- LCD Soundsystem: "Now they're just playing the same drum over and over"
does she write for pitchfork?
Watch it son or you'll feel the wrath of the old man open hand knuckle sandwich.So I'm heading off in a little bit to play in a charity golf tournament. I come downstairs dressed and ready to go, and here is the conversation with my 11 year old son:
11 yo: Where YOU going?
Me: Going to play golf in a tournament.
11 yo: You're playing in a tournament?!?!!?
Me: You bet. (and feeling that I'm a cool dad because I get to play in a tournament)
11 yo: What is it, the Old Man Open?

Made me think of this video:Sitting in the park right now, a girl from my son's class that ended in June is in here - they're holding hands, playing, & having fun... My son tries to show off, even though at 4.5 he can't do anything all that impressive.
Anyways, he goes to the girl; "I can run super fast and jump super high"
girls response was solid; "do it, let me see"
Son looks confused for a second, then goes for it, runs across the playground & then jumps 9 inches off the ground.
Girl responds; "that wasn't that high or fast"
son responds; "I'm not in the mood right now"
i found the whole thing![]()
Just the bolded above makes me giggle. Holy hell how do you do it?This morning #10 was in the Shame corner for hitting #8 with a light saber. 10 refused to apologize so I made him sit longer. #11 gets a couple toys and goes and sits with him. It was really cute.
I often put #2 in timeout because he hit #1 and lots of times #1 says she's fine and can #2 please be let out of timeout, love it when they do that.Clown Car said:This morning #10 was in the Shame corner for hitting #8 with a light saber. 10 refused to apologize so I made him sit longer. #11 gets a couple toys and goes and sits with him.

On the way to school the other day....
Daughter says neighbors cat came back from the woods with no ears
I respond by saying the cat must have got in a fight with another animal
BOTH my son and daughter then respond that that's crazy, it was obviously the clowns.
I said ummmmm what?
Both of them informed me that the clowns live in the woods
Just as long as it doesn't turn out that #2 blames #1 for being in timeout, and #1 wants you to let him out so that he doesn't hit her for getting him out in timeout to begin with.I often put #2 in timeout because he hit #1 and lots of times #1 says she's fine and can #2 please be let out of timeout, love it when they do that.
I actually did laugh out loud to this one.Son's hair wild as getting ready for school. Wife dressed in morning garb.
Wife: I dare you to go to school looking like that.
Son: I dare you to take me to the bus stop looking like that.
"Spectacles, Test I Cles, wallet, and watch."My wife has been trying to teach my 3 year old to say prayers at bedtime. Tonight, she tried to get him to say the sign of the cross. He was calm and quiet and about to go to bed. This is what ensued.
Wife: "Connor, do this. Touch your head and say...Father. Now touch your heart and say....Son. Now touch each shoulder and say....Holy..."
Son: "Moly! Holy Moly!"
The father, the son, and the holy moly.
by me,,,,,
Congratulations?!?!?!?
This IS HORRIBLE!!!!I'm on the bed reading. 7 year old is playing tablet beside me.
Out of the blue.
7 yo: I feel comfortable with my dad.
Me: Awe, thanks, Buddy.
7 yo: [doesn't look up, but points with fully extended arm]: That man, right there.

That's great! I'm so glad they have a relationship that daughter tells mom stuff. I still haven't told my mother I started.So my daughter this weekend got her first womanly flow..... First offby me,,,,,
Anyway, as relayed by the wife....
daughter: "Mommy, I think i got my period"
wife: " you did...congratulations honey"
daughter:Congratulations?!?!?!?
This IS HORRIBLE!!!!
Stupid kids growing up
That is horrible.My wife was trying to instill empathy into my son, saying people aren't fat - meaning it doesn't define them. Some people have some extra weight is all...
Considering, my 7 year old said, "Did somebody call you fat?"
Do not bring it up with her.belljr said:So my daughter this weekend got her first womanly flow..... First offby me,,,,,

Me neither before I did it, which is why I did it. I have no concept of thinking ahead. Well I finally wised up and there won't be a #12.Jesus, 11 kids. I cant even. Literally, I just can't even begin to imagine.
We'll see next year at this time.Well I finally wised up and there won't be a #12.
No seriously. 11 is 19mos and I'm still saying no more. Usually that ends after labor or morning sickness. But I'm almost 2 years out saying no more.We'll see next year at this time.
Looks like it's hereditary. Chip off the old brock so to spleak.Last night i was doing reading with my youngest at bedtime. We were reading a 3rd grade reader that he brough homw, some Halloween story about a kid needing to buy a costume. When he gets going fast, he mispronounces words, instead of sounding them out. The line was something like: "All the aisles were stuffed with monstrous things: rubber masks, fangs, scars and fake blood." But he read it as "All the #######s..."
i just cracked up. Took him a minute to catch on, but then he started cracking up, too.
Friday nights are "shake and movie" night here. I had to get movies from Redbox by myself because everyone was everywhere. I asked what movies they wanted me to look for. #5 (13yo) says "go through them and pick what you think is best. Then don't get that. Go back and look for something that looks cool and we would like."
I got them "hidden figures." They were annoyed at first but ended up really liking it.
Tonight they got the new pirates of the Caribbean. I think I'm mother of the year.
6 pack? Pshht. I'm rocking a party ball.ChiefD said:In the bathroom getting ready this morning, and my 9 year old son is in there. I was standing there wearing jeans and no shirt while I was getting ready. So just to goof around, I start flexing for him and showing him how to flex properly.
Me: Man, I look pretty good for an old guy. What do you think of that six pack?
Him: What 6-pack? You mean mine?
Me: No, me.
Him. Looks more like a 1 pack. Actually, more like a fat pack.

Have you signed her up for millionaire yet?Johnny Rock said:We're all at our favorite pizza joint in town for my birthday and talking. The kids were adamant that I try out for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. We were discussing this and that and I told them I used to know way more trivia when I was younger but now I'm too old.
14-yo daughter said, "You're too old to go to school but too young to go into a nursing home." I'm 49.
