Pregnancy week 32-Moms, you’re large, hot, tired and short

Pregnant ladies in the house, you’re all those things and a bag of chips. I’m kidding about the bag of chips because that may be one of the few things you don’t have a craving for. If you are craving a bag of chips then you can use another tired 90’s cliché like ‘talk to the hand’ or ‘don’t go there!’. Continue reading Pregnancy week 32-Moms, you’re large, hot, tired and short

In 2008 the Ron Clark Academy, a private school for students in grades 5-8, opened on the south side of Atlanta. In short, Ron Clark is the teacher that everybody wants to have for one reason or another. Continue reading Daddy Mojo reads: The End of Molasses Classes by Ron Clark

The life and times of a 22 month old

Just what does a typical 22 month old do? Granted the answer to that question is subjective and totally depends on the parents. However, as we’re on the cusp of having another child we’ve forgotten when to do things and what to expect. Your toddler may vary; we’re just documenting this in case we have Unexpected More Mojo in two years, which is highly unlikely. Continue reading The life and times of a 22 month old

A rough overview on recent “Dumb Dads” portrayed in media

All dads aren’t dumb. Much the same way that all women don’t drive poorly and all blondes aren’t airheads. Likewise, all Asians aren’t smart and all black people can’t play basketball.

But enough about blonde Asian women that can’t play basketball; let’s chat about why the media thinks that all dads are dumb. As a dad, I do love a good joke and have been told that I have an engaging sense of humor. Having said that, let’s take a look at some examples that make us think that broken hearted college girls are shaping some media decisions lately.

The life and times of a 21 month old toddler

As Toddler Mojo gets older and More Mojo is due to be born in a couple of months we’re trying to remember how to do everything again.

You do have an earpiece for that mobile phone, don’t you?

I’m busy. Oh, I could fill a blog full of the mindless gunk that fills my day up, wait, I already do that.

One day recently I dropped my phone earpiece into the can of soda that I had beside my computer. It was a bad earpiece anyway. The cushion around the earpiece had fallen off a couple of months ago and the hook that goes around my ear broke off a couple of months before that. I’m very cheap and busy.

The earpiece, although it hurt my ear and often fell out, worked until it found its untimely cola grave. The obituary would read: Here lay a cheap earpiece that was ultimately done in by a cup of Dr. Thunder. Continue reading You do have an earpiece for that mobile phone, don’t you?
