I love this

"i want to be a journalist. or a ballet man"

faster than a speeding pirouette, stronger than a cabriole, look! up in the sky, it’s a plie, it’s a barre, it’s BALLET MAN

Me: What do you want to listen to in the car?

2 Year Old: I want rock and roll. I want faster music. I want louder music. I want a man singing. Not a lady.

K: Dad what's history?
Me: Well, it's learning about things that happened in the past.
K: Oh, kind of like, you know how there's chocolate at the bottom of king cone and the ice cream doesn't drip out? Grandma told me they didn't have that when she was a kid.

excellent

> how there's chocolate at the bottom of king cone and the ice cream doesn't drip out?

y'know, i've never realised before now that this is EXACTLY WHY there's chocolate in the bottom of a king cone.

President Keyes, your 2yo > my 5yo :(

K: (jealous that E got new clothes, even though K just got new clothes a week ago): Why don't you care about me?!

Me: Caring is not about buying stuff.

K: Yeah it is. I looked it up.

it is, she’s right

"i'm playing squeezy daddy!"

*hugs me super hard*

"I WIN!!!!"

This is the best thing ever.

Yes, that's awesome. Especially that final line.

mind totally blown. i have never seen somebody that into jimi hendrix (and buddy, i've seen a hendrix fan or two). whole body just enraptured with the sound of it, i could see him trying so hard to put his love for it into words.

that is amazing considering that at my house it's been "all star" and the sia song from the my little pony movie on repeat for the entire weekend

this rules

Just out of the shower and about to put some hair goop on when the 3yo pokes his head in the door. He likes to get a dab too and we style our hair together.

Him: "You going to do your scrotum next?"
Me: "What?!?"
"You do your scrotum now?"
"What do you mean?"
"The one that goes here." (indicates his armpit)
"Oh, you mean my DEODORANT?"
"Yeah that's what I'm talking about."

Which reminded me of this exchange from about six months ago: he comes walking through the kitchen with no pants on, hand stuck in one the leg holes of his underwear.
Me: "Stop touching your penis."
Him: "I not touching me penis. I touching my scrotum. Why didn't you notice that?"

I love Kid Lawyering.

Have you seen the new movie? We just learned about it this weekend.

lol til now the hendrix fan has been mainly into Flo Rida, Fallout Boy and Bruno Mars

my son was screaming this morning because "Neat Neat Neat" by the Damned didn't start playing the moment I started the car

yes i took my kids to the movie on saturday (first movie in the theater for the younger one). it's literally just a longer episode of the tv show, the production values are pretty much exactly the same.

couple days ago we're laying in bed watching some TV, it's almost the boy's bedtime (he's nearly 3) and it looks like he's passed out already. I say to the wife, "should we put him in his crib?", then suddenly the boy lifts his head up, says "NO!!" and immediately passes out again

I was out of town for couple days and during that time my almost 3 year old became obsessed with Rock Lobster and will spin and dance for the entire seven minutes of it (other than the "down..." part where he lies on the floor) and when it's done he will yell ROCK MONSTER until you play it again. He did this like four times in a row yesterday.

E (2 now) has this thing she does now after bedtime, where we'll be in the dark for like a sold 20 minutes of silence, and I'll assume everyone is asleep, and then all of the sudden she'll call out something like "Dad! Do you remember Peso? From Octonauts?" Or "Dad! We forgot to have dessert!"

I had that last night, thought he was asleep followed by a super loud PAPA I FOUND A BOOGER IN MY NOSE WHERE DO I PUT IT?

"We forgot to have dessert!" regularly appears around bed time in my house, to which I usually respond you had some grapes or a cookie or whatever to which the response is often something like "only something that has chocolate in it counts as a desert".

My sons now have a thing during bathtime where they will say, "You're the pancake and this is syrup!" and then pour/spray water all over me. It was cute at first.

lol

"Time to wash my tentacles!"

"This is Frankenstein's monster. When he meets someone HE DOESN'T EAT THEM! He gives birth instead."

"daddy what do you like better, machine gun or voodoo chile?"

is it possible to have this conversation without a spliff??

aw

xposts James imagining the logistics of that has given rise to some disturbing images

Last night it was: "Dad, do you like cookies and cream?"

My kids still do that! They'll call "dad" over and over and when I finally go in their room it will be some insanely trivial, random question.
