Just thinking about how funny it would’ve been if, right after saying “The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff,” Carl Sagan had ripped a massive fart.

My child may never know what it means to be a “spoony bard,” & neither may his mother, and neither may you, but it’s from Final Fantasy IV and the point is I’m spending time with my him instead of playing video games, and as a man, I believe that entitles me to some form of medal or parade, yes?
My kid may or may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but you can certainly tell he wants it.
The fact remains: my son has never been seen in the same room as the Cutie Bomber. Also Spider-Man. Also Superman. So by the transitive property, Spider-Man is Superman—which explains why neither has done anything about the Cutie Bomber.
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.

Grocery costs just jumped 3%, and it is only getting worse. Trump is hiking diesel prices with his reckless Iran conflict, and we are the ones stuck with the bill. We are literally paying for a war we never wanted. 💸 #WeCantAffordTrump
