4 yr old: Dad, I'm thirsty.

Me: Hi. I'm Friday. Glad to meet you

9 yr old: THAT'S SOOOO BAD. WHY?

Backdrop: My oldest loves our male cat. You can hear her call him in this kind of high pitched hello, "Simon!!" when he walks into the room with her there.

My girls are watching a show yesterday and just generally talking trash to each other while I'm close enough to overhear them... my oldest says something about how she can imitate voices and my youngest (seven) can't.
My seven year old responds without hesitation, "I can imitate you..."
My oldest, "How?"
Youngest, in her highest pitched, most cartoon demon voice: "Look!! It's SIMON!!"

Dead.

Gotta love a younger sibling getting one over on the older sibling.

Catholic schools be like "sure, our facilities are dilapidated, our faculty is talentless (albeit caring), our theology is milquetoast, and we offer an objectively worse curriculum than the free public schools, but please pay us $400,000 to send all of your kids here through high school."

No idea how i missed this AWESOME thread but jumping in w/ two feet now.

First, congratulations to the several of you with new babies and also expecting IE folks...whether Grandfathers or Dads.

I have only one, 5-yr old boy.

He's a pistol. His latest funny was over the weekend when his mom gave him a timeout:

5-Year Old, yelling down from his bedroom: You are a Mean Mom. I'm getting a new one.

Wife, walking in to his room: OK, I'll take you to the store where kids pick out their new mom. Let's just pack your things so you can take them with you to your new home.

Jack: Oh no!! I'm not leaving. You need to pack your stuff. My new mom is coming here.

Be assured, she shut his **** down immediately but I'm still laughing.

My 9 year old daughter: Brandon Urie is the best rock star.

Me: The last rock star died in 1997.

Daughter: Who?

Me: Michael Hutchence

Daughter: Who's he?

Me: YOU GO TO YOUR ROOM AND LISTEN TO INXS ON SPOTIFY FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT YOUNG LADY!

I was watching a game (don't remember which one) when my 5 year old daughter comes flying out of the corner of my eye and tackles my 2 yr old son. I'm talking shoulder in, head up -- perfect form tackle.

Of course my son gets up crying, and my daughter's about to lose it too--maybe she didn't expect him to go down like that. She's not an aggressive or angry person, and they actually get along really well. As for me, I had to get up and go to another room because I was laughing so hard.

Sounds like your Title IX has a firm understanding of the targeting rule. Better than quite a few refs and analysts this season.

If you didn't take all those trips to Disney and quit buying high-end shoes like you were a woman you could afford it!

I'm just happy I don't to worry about that anymore.

The issue isn't the budget, it's "do I even want this?"

My daughter did this once too. She was maybe one and a half and her three year old cousin stole her bottle from her. My daughter got up, charged her cousin, and tackled her right to the ground. Her cousin was a little chunk at a that age, like twice my daughter's size, so it was pretty funny given the size difference. You didn't mess with my daughter's bottle back then!

Slow down here. Wait and see what the new mom he picks out looks like before you dismiss this entire idea.

My son did something similar when I dropped him off at day care one morning at 6:30 am. He wasn't walking, crawling at the time. He was there with another child who wrapped him twice across the beezer because he wanted his binkie and he wasn't willing to give it up. Hunt, who had never done it, rolled over on his front, got up on his knees a little bit
and went all Jimmy "SuperFly" Snooka across the other child's chest. Laughing all the way. Landed on him and wouldn't let him up....all the while, looking backing at me and smiling. Hell yeah....Binkies are for closers. ;)

I would like to introduce Nora Eloise, my first grandchild! Born 1/19 at 8 lbs 1oz. Future Irish fan, she has the appropriate sleeper.

Congratulations! May you enjoy many years with all the fun and none of the headaches.

Bishop's post in the funny picture thread reminded me...

About five years ago we are in our front yard in so cal. My youngest is about 3-ish at the time. My mother, sister, wife, oldest daughter and I are all outside with my youngest for whatever reason (I forget what).

I'm talking to my sister by the front door when my youngest walks up with her skin-coloring changing and it looks like she's in physical pain. We freak trying to figure out what happened. She can't get her breathing under control enough to say what is going on. She can only manage sobs in between gasps and hyperventilation. Within a few seconds I become worried something serious is going down. I grab her by the shoulders to try and get her to calm down so i can at least understand where to begin but all I can accomplish is my little one managing to scream at the top of her lungs. My mother and wife now see what's going on and interpret what they see as me shaking and or harming my daughter and they rush over ready to scold me... Everything is totally unraveling now and I'm seriously fighting panic over what wtf is going on with my three year old. I put my hand on her back to at least try to comfort her so she can hopefully communicate to me and I feel a HUGE lump on her back, I freak out I spin her around and pull her shirt up and see a massive and I mean MASSIVE water bug that somehow got under her shirt...... This thing had to be a good 6 inches long and thick. I swat it away, check for bites, she's fine just terrified (understandably I suppose) and now I have to get to explaining how I didn't do anything to my child to 'the females'.... dads.

fun times.

I'm REALLY looking forward to this upcoming week. My wife is attending a seminar in Denver and I'm taking the entire week off to play dad and be a bum. Daddy/daughter night out Monday for Japanese food, we're going for a drive through Custer state park to see the bison one day, our town's annual father/daughter dance is Thursday, and I discovered that Little Miss has never seen Foghorn Leghorn or Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, so we're going to be watching them every night (I have every episode on my laptop). On top of that, after I take her to school in the mornings, I then have 8 hours all to myself to watch movies and play guitar with nobody wanting anything from me. This may be the best week of my life.

Enjoy Bishop! Hope you have a great one
