It’s a pity “Grampa’s Treadmill” isn’t an Olympic sport, because my kid would be number one with a butt-flip. (Obviously this presumes some kind of “Toddler Olympics,” which I think we can all agree is coming to America within a decade, whether or not we beat back fascism.)

Don’t tell his mom, but I’m secretly training my kid to be the Coyote who actually takes out his Road Runner. ACME discipline. Real-world physics. Maybe no TNT. 🧨

Teaching my toddler the word “doppelgänger” in case his brother is born with a cat allergy and he needs a non-ableist way to say “stop copying me.”

It’s devastating to me that my kid is still so young and yet already so much better at clubbing than me (I assume, I’ve never really been clubbing to judge against. It’s mostly just this with champagne, yes?)

It can be difficult to stay in shape as an old dad, but the key is just to find a way to incorporate your kid into the workout, and be ready for a small but noticeably life-altering injury about once every three reps.
Things got pretty sentimental telling my son he’s going to be a big brother. But there are practical concerns too. Lotta logistics. Double the car seats. Double the daycare. And a preternaturally verbal witness to silence if we ever want to successfully convince the new one he’s adopted.
Haven’t checked the parenting books, but teaching my kid spoons are instruments first and utensils second feels like a recipe for an eating disorder. On the bright side, at least it’ll be on tempo.
Raising him to survive the economy of tomorrow. Step one: infiltrate the robots. Step two: unionize.
Teaching my kid method acting by lying about when he’s on tape. He’s either gonna be a phenomenal actor or a guy who spends the next 40 years having flop-sweat nightmares he can’t quite explain.

In the realm where dreams are woven into lines, an artist's hand becomes a conduit for the intangible to take shape.
