I’m deliberately staying in bed a few minutes longer so that the kids are forced to solve their own beef with each other instead of expecting me to lay down the rules. Good morning. 🥱

The aisles at target might not be organized, but there are some good shoes for my kids hiding in here if I look hard enough.

My 10yo decided it’d be fun to read my pill bottle labels. “Dad, what’s intercourse for stee?” (STI) ☠️ 😂 Me: intercourse is a medical word for sex. This medicine helps avoid infections. Truth is best. And then he grabbed the laser tag guns for a match before bed.

Me: “You know the restaurant called ihop? They call it that because you can hop like a bunny to pay for your food. Each hop is worth 1¢” 7yo kid: “Let’s go! Hop! Hop!🐰” 8yo kid: “No way. That sounds fake.” Can’t bullshit a bullshitter 🤣

Sometimes I don’t have strength to “vacuum the house.” I do have strength to push the vacuum sitting on the floor in my bedroom to its charging spot and let it suck up crumbs along the way. My feet appreciate fewer things underfoot. Something worth doing is still worth doing partway.

I have a better day when I remind myself that I’m a great dad.

It’s a mood when you’re running so late that you lean into “well… whatever.” 👑 Good morning to you and yous.
