What up, my dudes! Another year has almost come and gone, and looking back on it, I see that it’s been an interesting one, for real. Through the many trials, tribulations and experiences (some of which I’ve written about here), I’ve really learned a lot. For example: – I spent some time behind the scenes, in the audience, and in […]
Dear Retail Stores, You and I, we’ve spent a lot of time together over the years. Things feel different now, though, and I’ve felt this way for a while. Shoot, you look as nice as ever. That’s not the problem. It’s just….. I’ve changed. I got three small kids now, and I don’t have the time for you […]
As the title says, this just a short story on discrimination (possibly, to be fair). See, my family was in Michigan recently. While strolling around a town one evening, we decided to eat at a restaurant. I won’t say the real name of it (to not falsely incriminate them), so let’s call it Milky’s. Milky’s looked fairly busy, so […]
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but I live with a picky eater. Seriously, my child won’t eat. B’s seven years old, and for as long as I can remember, he’s been very particular and fussy about his food. I’m pretty sure he was spitting out breast milk when he was baby, if it wasn’t a certain flavour […]
I’m a real sucker for sports-themed inspirational stories with morals, and especially “dad” moments in sports. You know, those heartwarming incidents that happen during a game or event, which really highlight the love between a father and their children. From Jeff Hornacek wiping his face during free throw attempts as a way to secretly say hi to his kids, to […]
The other morning, while getting ready for school, B suddenly blurted this out to us: “Did you know that they say the N word on Casper’s Scare School?” Now, if your kid said this to you, what would your reaction be? For me, I hadn’t had my coffee yet, but this provided quite the jolt! B and J had recently […]
One of the cool parts about being a parent is the never-ending string of learning experiences. Not just by your kids, though, but by you, too. It’s always something, man. Bedtime for kids is a common source of chaos, in our house. Take the other night, for example, when my house was almost set ablaze by a pair of underwear. […]
Today, I’d like to introduce you my imaginary friend. This is an individual who, against all reasonable explanation, seems to be really admired by my children. Are you ready? OK, here he is! To most people, that is just my hand. But to B and J? It’s Fingers! You see, one day, when B was three […]
Recently, I found myself waiting in a long line with my daughter, to meet a giant talking strawberry. What would compel someone to do this, you ask? Shopkins, that’s what. Now, for the informed readers, you are probably nodding your head, in approval. For the uninformed, however, I feel your confusion. Truth be told, up until a few months ago, […]
