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.

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.”

As a millennial father, I feel it’s my duty to end each night by imparting one drop of foundational life wisdom gleaned from all those hours spent with my best and only childhood friends, the X-Men. Tonight’s lesson: “people fear what they don’t understand.”
One of the most important parenting skills is knowing when to say no to your toddler — ideally before they get their tiny little hands on a sharp knife.
A lot of people hate trigger warnings—not me. I think they’re a helpful tool; I just think we’re using them wrong. I don’t need a heads-up that a movie’s ending is a real bummer.
Neuroscientifically speaking, every time you remember something you’re rewriting the memory—like a photocopy of a photocopy—which means, technically, this is applied neuroscience, not gaslighting my toddler.
Gonna get Toddles a starter job as one of those night elves that fixes shoes. I figure since it’s magic it kind of sits outside the whole “child labor law” system, and his bedtime already lives in the land of myth, so 🤷♂️🧝
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?
Technically at the end of this video I sing-song’ed “back away,” but the caption auto-generated it as “taco wee,” and I gotta say, as a professional writer of silly little word combinations, this is the first time I was genuinely afraid my job could be done better by a robot.
And people said I was a fool, A FOOL, to make my baby stay up all night watching The Chair Company on a loop.
All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. In some cases, in the rare and demanding role of ‘Mama Who Must Sing With Me With the Kitty.’ An unconventional play, to be sure, and not one of Shakespeare’s best, which perhaps explains its omission from the canon.
