Creepy Is The New Hot...

In the car, on the way to Maine, my older daughter and my wife were playing a game together. I had bought her one of those teen idol magazines to read on the long drive. The game she came up with went something like this:

Seven Year Old - "Hey Mom. How about, first I pick the cutest boys in the picture and then you pick who you think are the cutest boys in the picture?

Wife - "OK. That sounds like a lot of fun."

Seven Year Old - "But you have to pick your 3 favorite boys."

Wife - "OK. That's gonna be tough. They're all adorable."

Seven Year Old - "But you have to say who's the first most cutest, the second most cutest and the third most cutest."

Wife - "I got it. You go first."

Seven Year Old - "No. You go first."

Wife - "OK. Let me see. I say..."

Seven Year Old - "NO! Don't say it out loud. First you pick, then I pick and then we'll see if they are the same."

Wife - "Oh, OK. Hmmm, Let me see. OK, I got my three."

Seven Year Old - "OK, now I go."

Out-Numbered - "Can I play?"

Seven Year Old - "No Daddy, you're a boy."

Out-Numbered - "Whatever."

Seven Year Old - "OK Mom. I'm done."

Wife - "You go first."

Seven Year Old - "No, you go first."

Wife - "OK. My Third favorite is Chace Crawford, because I looooovvvvve Gossip Girls."

Seven Year Old - "Oooh he's cute."

Out-Numbered - "Seriously?"

Seven Year Old - "Daddy be quiet."

Wife - "My Second favorite is Nick Jonas."

Seven Year Old - "Yuck. He creeps me out. Kevin is sooooo much cuter."

Wife - "I disagree."

Seven Year Old - "Whatever."

Wife - "And my First cutest boy is Zac Efron!"

Seven Year Old - "I KNEW IT!"

Out-Numbered - "Zac Efron? What's up with that? He's got a fake tan and he sings like a girl."

Wife - "Jealous much?"

Out-Numbered - "Of who? Wildcats? Please."

Seven Year Old - "Daddy?"

Out-Numbered - "What?"

Seven Year Old - "I think you are more adorable than any of these boys."

Out-Numbered - "Really? That's so sweet baby."

Seven Year Old - "Totally. You're so much cuter."

Shooting my wife my sexiest glance...

Out-Numbered - "That's right baby... Number One Cutest Boy. In your face."

These pretty boys are Out-Numbered by my Hotness...

    Oh man! You are oh so dreamy!

    I can only hope that some day my sons will think I'm better looking than the latest teeny bopper hotties.

    or maybe I don't.

    This is so great! I loved the fact your wife was willing to play "Who's the cutest" with your daughter. Some of their choices I've heard of, some not at all. My daughter's are past the "I have a crush on the hottest teeny bopper star of the moment" stage. Now they look at "older" starts. (I think I'm afraid.)
    Your comments in the conversation just made me laugh out loud.
    The best is your daughter's comment about you being cuter than all the other boys. How sweet.

    If you're willing to share you Oreos, I'll put you way above anyone else on any list. How awesome that your wife was willing to play the game...I'm too scared to even try with my 7 yr old daughter. I don't want to know what she'd say.

    Oh, love it! My boys tell me I'm the most gorgeous gal around, except they nearly vomit trying to get out the words "gorgeous" or "cute".

    But I know what they mean...

    Oh, just enjoy the love and adoration now while they are sweet and without hormone influx. My two boys swore they loved me and planned to live with me forever. Now the one with the man-cub sprouts in his pits and his three-haired mustache looks at me as if I am made of limburger cheese sitting out on the sidewalk in Texas in an August-heatwave. Let's just say I am not the most popular girl at the dance anymore (at least not in my household). I love how adored you are. That is so sweet!

    Barf on all three. And what is it with grown people knowing which Jonas sister is which? Gross. Perhaps they have young girls in the house as well. I'm ever more grateful that I have a son...

Things That Suck About Having Kids... Part One

Image
Warning: Please do NOT read this post if you think your kids are perfect, if you are easily offended by inappropriate language or if you have a shitty sense of humor about your children. Continue reading only if you admit that your kids are annoying or that they have sucked at any point in time. I love being a dad. That much I can tell you. I can list a number of reasons that would support that statement but for now I choose not to. What happens to be on my mind lately is how much having kids can suck. I'm not saying that having children sucks all of the time but rather a majority of the time. I know that most parents think their kids are annoying. I know that most parents tend not to talk about this in public. I also know what parents think are annoying about their kids. How do I know this? Because I asked. This is only a small sampling of what you said: The fact that I have to fight with them to take a shower. They act like I am asking for a limb rather than just asking them to c...

The Reset Button...

When you hear a baby crying, do you clench your teeth? Or do you listen until you hear the breath of life, exploding from its tiny lungs. Do you appreciate all that it is worth to you. Do you appreciate all that it is worth to it . When you see a person that needs help, do you turn away? Or do you extend your hand? When you feel overwhelmed by life, do you cry because you can't handle it on your own? Or do you laugh because you know you don't have to? Have you ever tried for just one day, to not judge anyone? Or anything? Life starts right now. Every single day. Over and over and over again. Just for today, wake up with a new set of eyes. Just for today, wake up with a new set of ears. Just for today, judge no one and help anyone. Just for today, give until it hurts. There are 365 days in a year and you only have to live them one at a time. Hit the reset button.

The List...

Men are simple creatures. We like steak and Doritos and tools. We don't like satin sheets or hairspray. We despise area rugs and/or tapestries and we absolutely loathe speed walking. We also like Football. We like to watch it uninterrupted on Sundays. And then this happens... Sunday afternoon 4:13pm. Two minutes before kickoff. Chargers VS Jaguars. Out-Numbered - All I ask is that you keep them upstairs until halftime. Wife - Fine. But I haven't had a moment to myself this whole weekend you know. Out-Numbered - I know. I love you. Wife - Whatever. Out-Numbered - Hey. Wife - Yes? Out-Numbered - Can you bring me some snacks? Wife - Go fuck yourself. Out-Numbered - Thanks Hon. She walks up the stairs. 3 Year Old - Daddy? Out-Numbered - Fuck me! Yes baby? 3 Year Old - Can you play supermarket with me? Out-Numbered - I'm sorry baby. Not right now. 3 Year Old - Why? Out-Numbered - Because Daddy is watching football. 3 Year Old - Can't you pause it? Out-Number...
