Ten Signs You’re a Father

drivelocity — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:58:20 +0000

Fathers Day is coming up, my second, so I’ve put together a list of things that remind you that you’re a dad… And, yes, these are from personal experience, not another recycled “you know you’re a dad when…” list.

You find that a pacifier in your pocket when you get to work
You get the theme song to Wonder Pets stuck in your head
You have no problem discussing your child’s bodily functions
You buy furniture, not based on looks, but stain resistance
Your clean black shirt isn’t clean (and you don’t care)
You can’t find a suitable place, anywhere, for your dart board
You somehow “lose” every show recorded on your DVR
You plan your day around naps and bed time (yours too)
Your cupboards now have bottles and cups vs. pint glasses
You’re still singing, “wonder pets, wonder pets, we’re on our way…”

To all the other dads and dads-to-be, Happy Fathers Day!

Politics on Halloween

Yes, this has been one hell of a year for politics, but some people are really taking this too far…

For one night, it would have been nice for people to take down their political signage and let the children enjoy the night and not have to be inundated with opinions of people they don’t know about things they don’t understand. Apparently one woman in Michigan has a completely different way of thinking. Shirley Nagel turned away children based on the political preferences of their parents. How scary is that?

Nagel had posted a sign stating, “No handouts for Obama supporters, liars, tricksters or kids of supporters.” Her response to the children who left with tears? “Oh well. Everybody has a choice.” Shirley Nagel, you are a disgusting human being.

With that said, I was actually surprised that I didn’t see anyone dressed up as Obama, McCain, Biden or Palin last night…
