My cell phone rings.
“Hello Daughter.”
“Hi Dad, we’re having practice today at 3pm”
“Ugh I thought with school being canceled you wouldn’t have practice. I guess I could take a late lunch and come and pick you and Sally up and take you to practice.”
“No dad. That’s OK. Sally’s sister Betty is going to pick us [...]
Oh my goodness look at that parking lot! I am not going anywhere near that craziness; That would be insane! The lines must be out the door and down the street! I can’t do it! I will just have to explain to my son after Christmas that every store in the universe was out of [...]
The fall youth sports schedule has concluded and the winter schedule is just starting to organize. There is about a two week break between the seasons. I was taking the schedules down from the information collection unit (refrigerator) in the kitchen and noticed something, no one had written down any W’s or L’s on [...]
I am the oldest of two and my little man is the youngest of our three. Sometimes I have trouble understanding him. He will do things to raise the pulse rate in his siblings (and me) with regularity. My wife reminds me that people look for attention in different ways, I wish [...]
We try to get to Chicago once a year. We live in a small town and it is a real treat to see the “big city”. Last year we took the family (my wife and our three children) and stayed right downtown next to the John Hancock building! The boys and I went to [...]

I took the girls to the mall this morning. While strolling along my three year old asks, “Was that a boy or a girl?” while gesturing toward a guy walking by.
I barely caught this guy in my periphery but it was enough to be relatively certain he was a he. “That’s a boy”
Girl: But he has a necklace on
Dad: Some men were necklaces
Girl: Daddy! That is silly. Boys don’t wear necklaces!
Dad: Sure they can. I don’t, but some boys do.
Girl: Oh (while giggling) they need to be a real boy like you
Dad: Huh … thanks kid
This looks like fun -Have you ever wanted to print a comic book hero right from your PC? Me either, until I saw this link from ParentHacks where you can do just that. Printable, foldable comic book characters and super heroes.
Well, well, well! -My wife and I were chatting about a friend who was having a drinking water well drilled on his property.
"They're down to around 200 feet now." I said.
"What kind of well are they digging?" My son interjected.
"Well, a water well of course. What other kinds of wells are there?" I said matter-of-factly.
My son said, with DUH intonation and attitude, "Wishing Wells!!!"
I laughed so hard I couldn't catch a breath. He comes up with some good ones.
Pink, the new black -I've uploaded a couple of my sons pre Junior prom pictures to the D is for Dad Flickr group. It was a blast taking the photos and we are so grateful he thought to include us. You can get to the Flickr group by clicking any of those images in the upper right corner.
Yeah, right there. :)
