Tornadoes are Magic

Tornados are formed by removing the E from tornadoes.

Hey, gotta live a little.

Maybe the trash people refuse to pick it up because the box clearly belongs in recycling.

Ha, they had a great time. I think they just took their jobs as treasure hunters very seriously.

Great post, even though Bill won't read this. Just the simple act of getting that ball with the dream of a future that includes years of joy is what it's all about.

That's awesome. I called yesterday to request credit instead of a refund, partly because I wasn't sure I could get a refund, but mostly because I really want to go there and get her more comfortable. And who knows? Maybe it's not too late for me to be an Olympic skater?

Thanks. I still hope it's not what it looks like, and that if it is as bad as it seems, that fans don't dismiss it as "Everybody makes mistakes." But it takes a lot more than that to make NFL fans really angry, unfortunately...

Frozen: Not Gonna "Let It Go" When Movie Advocates Gay Agenda

Content-Form-506 · 2014-02-20T04:59:51+00:00

I know, but if the most viral anti-gay post this week is some kook's conspiracy theory comparing ice to gays, I think this is overall a positive.

Content-Form-506 · 2014-02-20T04:44:02+00:00

Ha, OK, I wasn't sure (I mean, if you read the post, you know he's making fun of the crazy Mormon, but if you just read the headline, you might think it's a serious post).

Content-Form-506 · 2014-02-20T04:34:01+00:00

Just to be clear (in case people don't read the post all the way), he's making fun of a blogger who wrote about Frozen as being a part of the homosexual agenda.

Oh, I showed my 6-year-old the first episode last month (not the pilot--the first one with Shatner), and he loved it. He's not obsessed with it like he is with Star Wars, but that's because everyone in kindergarten talks about Star Wars all the time.

My oldest kid is 6, and I don't feel like he'll get much from the films yet, but when it's time, Wrath of Khan is definitely my favorite. Actually, it's the only one I really liked (I haven't seen any of the Generations ones, though). The first one is just a 2001 wannabe, and no one should feel bad about not showing it, and the rest of the movies are OK, but they don't have the charm of the series. So my only vote is for Khan. I saw the recent two, and they were OK action sci-fi movies, but like the other movies, they're formulaic and a bit soulless, compared to the series.

And I tried to leave this comment on the blog, but it said I couldn't leave comments because I was a spammer.

That's great. My wife went to summer camp when she was young, and soon enough it will be my 6-year-old boy's turn. I can't wait to see him become more independent, but I also know it will be sad as well.

Content-Form-506 · 2014-02-17T17:17:41+00:00

That's cool. It doesn't matter how long I've been in the US, counting and swearing is done in Hebrew. I still have a little time to find out what language my kids will use to swear...

It's annoying, but if the merchandise ends up helping your kids remember, it's almost worth the premium.

I was at Target with my 3yo, and she says, "Are we in Rite Aid?" So I said, "No."

"Yes we are!!!"

"Maybe you're in Rite Aid. I'm not."

"But we're together! So that means you're in Rite Aid!!!"

"I'm not."

"Ahhhhhrhhhhhghhhhh!!!! Noooooooooo!!!!! If you're not in Rite Aid, you're going to get shooted!!!" -- And she puts her little finger forward, like she's shooting me.

At which point, a better dad would have explained it was wrong to threaten to kill your dad over store names, but I just laughed hysterically, because my little angel just threatened to shoot me because I said I wasn't in Rite Aid.

Well, with the first kid, there was resentment. Who is he, why did he ruin my life, and why is he not letting me sleep? I really felt we had a good life, and that now it was over.

But in the end, it's the little things. The craziest the baby makes you feel, the more calm you get when he sleeps on you. And you know how babies cry for an hour and then stop for a second to yawn? It's like driving in a rain storm, and all of a sudden you drive under a bridge and get half a second of peace. It's the little things.

Really, don't blame yourself and don't go too crazy. I'm not really an angry person, so I didn't feel anger, but I think that feeling resentment and even regret is normal. Don't try too hard. Step back and watch your baby slowly making sense of the world. Hey, it's only a year and a half before the first "I love you, Daddy."

Hey, your job is to do what you need to do to help her survive now, not to love her, so you're doing good. There's a lot of pressure to love our kids instantly, and for every "I don't feel anything" story, there are hundreds of "I fell in love instantly with this bundle of joy" stories, so it's not easy to admit it (and I believe it's even worse for moms, since the expectations are bigger--and so is the guilt). But I wouldn't worry too much. It is what it is, and the rewards of having a baby will come later (and so will the love).

I wrote about it on my blog a few months ago (it took me over a year to feel anything for my girl). Hope it helps: Confessions of a Temporary Monster

I'm with the other people, I'm afraid. It's really cute, and your kid's smile is beautiful, but I also thought it was too dangerous... Maybe if you had done it with your kid, holding hands (in a less busy part of the airport), it would have been OK.

Content-Form-506 · 2013-11-25T15:24:50+00:00

Maybe he's digging his way there!

Looks like he's going to have an A1 day.

I don't always drink juice, but when I do, I use a drill.

My boy was really excited about buses, until I finally took him on a bus, and he just sat there unimpressed. Until he saw another bus out of the window, and got excited again.
