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.

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.”

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.
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.)
Watch out! Born swinger coming through. (And back. And then through again. It’s honestly kinda hard to make a dramatic entrance when you’re a born swinger.)
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?
It’s important to give your kids a healthy sense of self-esteem. Sometimes that means helping them with a puzzle and congratulating them like they did it themselves. Sometimes it means stuffing them in a sack and calling them a leg genius.

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.
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.
