I was having a discussion about battery-powered riding mowers on Reddit yesterday when someone chimed in with Tim the Tool Man Taylor-esque "argh argh" noises, saying I should have bought gas-powered. It's 2025, why do we treat gas versus electric like some sort of masculinity contest?

I enjoy talking to other dads that are involved just as much physically as they are emotionally with their kids. Not to exclude anyone, but you don’t hear about the mental and emotional changes that people go through when they raise kids & a lot of men just don’t like talking about it.

Providence elementary parents, please ignore the man walking his kid to school today with what seemed to be a leash. It was a Santa Claus tie, and she was pretending to be a feral cat. This was all at her request. Please disregard any further sightings because it will likely happen tomorrow as well.

We get it, your winter break was so much cooler than ours.

I really don’t understand how the invention of the pull & peel #twizzlers didn’t eliminate the necessity for regular trash twizzlers.

I don’t know if Harrison Ford’s reinvention as mischievous grandpa was planned or not, but I’m here for it. #starwars #iknow #hansolo #hanshotfirst

Here’s a moment of zen for you and some insight into what a good soul Jojo is. Her new favorite thing to do is sit on the couch and share fingertip chopstick #Cheetos with me. Today she insisted on passing them using only the chopsticks and she couldn’t be more pleased about it.

Mild take. The movie Arlo the Alligator Boy is a fun, underrated kids musical.

Apparently chaos goblins love me. Who saw that coming?

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Jojo (5, soon to be 6) is not a morning kid. Waking her up is a roll of the dice. Some days she’s all snuggly and cute, other days she wants to argue what the meaning of the word “up” is. 1/4

As a dad who is currently job hunting and freshening up his resume calls, the Google Super Bowl ad “Dream Job” just broke me. That tiny hand at the end!

Undone - the thing song #fantasticfour #weezer #marvel

While poop scooping the yard, my 5 year old daughter Jojo, called the dog poop “nerds” rather than turds. I’ll never correct her.

I’ve noticed an uptick in people talking on their phone in public. Delivery people always seem to be talking to someone to pass the time away, I’m talking about folks walking the aisles in grocery stores and such. I HATE talking on the phone, especially if it’s idle conversation.

We’ve all been stuck in the house sick with #covid for days now and everyone has survived so far. I signed up for #shipt from #target to get a few things to make a roast. First time in days I’ve felt full. #circle360 ftw

Fitting end to January 2025. Whole house with Covid. February will likely bring the us something rare like tuberculosis. March, the plague. April, demon possession. May, rapture. June, ???

I don’t get jealous of much, but having extended family that helps out consistently would be amazing right about now. 3 of 4 in the house are sick and we could sure use a break to recover. Jojo doesn’t like when I nap, so earlier I woke up to her basically wrestling me in my sleep. She won.

One of the worst parts about being an adult is wanting homemade chicken noodle soup when you’re sick, but there’s no one to make it for you besides yourself because your whole house is sick.

One kid got accepted into magnet school while the other didn’t. Super proud of Maggie because her acceptance was based on her talent, not a lottery selection like Jojo. Hopefully Jo gets in once some other kids move on so we can get her out of public school before it breaks all of our spirits.

Parenting a spicy kid always feels like a roller coaster, especially when they wake up sick, but today felt like a win. Jojo woke up happy, ate multiple times without a fight, we had a good tickle fight, and as per usual she wanted to snuggle me all day since she wasn’t feeling well. I’ll take it!

Had a hankering to use the #Blackstone today, so I fried some #taters and threw some #veggies beside it. Not pictured, the steaks that are going on last but not least. #bef #noms
