The intersection of Mom and Dad is a relationship between a man and woman.
Gift cards were probably invented by a man. This man may or may not have been a dad, but it wouldn’t surprise me if that were the case. This dad had probably purchased, once too often a blouse, skirt or moo moo that were not the color or style that his spouse wanted.
Then again, it’s possible that a woman invented the gift card. This woman; was probably a wife, whose knucklehead husband once bought her a moo moo. Continue reading A Dad and his gift card stand united for Mom
The light timer is a magical invention. Even outside of the Christmas season we have a couple timers that turn some of the lights on and off. You can tell when my wife is home because every, literally, every light is on in the house. She is single handedly trying to boost Georgia Powers annual profits.
So decorating for her during Christmas is a high point, both in enjoyment and watts used. Continue reading Plastic pegs, decorating wives and drunk reindeer
As a stay at home dad I encounter lots of funny situations with my child. Toilet jokes are the low hanging fruit in the blog world. I made a pact with myself to avoid stories about the toilet, a moratorium if you will, for as long as possible. I’m sure that when Baby Mojo gets to the potty training phase of life we’ll have more stories, some of which may actually be funny.
Speaking in a very technical sense, it’s not a story of the toilet, more accurately it’s a case of “did somebody step on a duck”? Continue reading A dad and mom play “did somebody step on a duck”?
My wife is a talker. Daddy Mojo is a thinker. I listen a lot, talk a little-and even then it may be very fast or if I’ve been drinking, with a slight accent. It wasn’t until a couple months into our relationship that she told me that she often couldn’t understand what I was saying; either because I was talking fast or with an accent, not that I needed to drink to be around her. Continue reading What men, dads and fathers really think about
This blog post is brought to you by the word “Pain”.
Nine years ago I was single with no children and had a hernia which caused me inconvenience and discomfort. A couple weeks ago I noticed a bulge in my lower stomach and suspected that my old friend was rearing its’ head again. Then, the bulge disappeared overnight. Ha, ha sucker fake hernia I’m better than you! Continue reading Daddy Mojo gets a hernia
Baby Mojo is about to take his first step. Because of that he’s been crawling fast, grabbing lots and seriously exhausting this stay at home dad. When I’m beat down I have good dreams and lately, they’ve been great. They’ve been so good that I’ve started writing down a couple words when I wake up so I can remember them later.
In my dream I was in Canal City, a futuristic shopping mall in Fukuoka, Japan. Continue reading The immutable law of attraction: Dream, Cats, Mall
I had always been curious about reality television. When I had the opportunity to have It’s Me or the Dog tape an episode at PAWS Atlanta I jumped at the chance. Prior to their taping I had several conversations with the producers and explained why the shelter would be a good candidate for the show. The producers had been kicking around the possibility of doing an episode of It’s Me or the Dog that was centered on an animal shelter, instead of a family having issues with a couple of dogs. Continue reading Once more with feeling-Crash course in reality television
Mothers and wives sometimes don’t see the value in what guys or growing boys have. Sometimes it’s a collection, a piece of clothing or a thing that looks like an old rock. For me it started with a concert tee for Oingo Boingo, who I had seen in concert at an outdoor festival. That was early 80s new wave at its best, even today Boingo’s music sounds great thanks in part to Danny Elfman and their tight rhythm. Their frantic, multi layered music captured the sensibilities of a hyperactive teenage boy perfectly. Continue reading The 40 million year old paper weight-Sand dollars in the Sahara
