If the kids were asked " Is your dad cool" What do you think they would say?

They’d say yes, but they think knock-knock jokes are funny and pull their pants up above their belly button. Their judgement of what’s cool is highly suspect.

Did your boys go through the terrible twos? If so, how did you handle it?

Yes, they did. And the awful threes and the wretched fours and the “are you shitting me?” fives.

I handled it with wine. For me, not them.

Actually, I try to be patient, stern, and levelheaded. Usually, though, I can only muster the stern part. It’s about adapting to the challenge, I guess. There’s no one answer… Well, wine is one answer.

Oh, and I forgot to reply to monmonnnnnn a day or two ago. She asked what app I use to do the little videos of me blowing up my kids and stuff. It’s called Action Movie FX and it’s from J.J. Abrams Bad Robot company. It’s got some free effects and others you have to pay for.

Okay, the last time I said, “Ask or tell me whatever you want!” and “Nothing is off limits!” I got, like, 20 questions from one person. Oh, and I got one anonymous note telling me I was sexy. So, clearly everyone was drunk that day.

Let’s try it again, shall we?

We found a park that overlooks a huge chunk of town. The boys weren’t as impressed as I was.
