I have a 12-year-old brother in law. He was born when my wife was 21. Needless to say he's my son's favorite uncle. He's coming over tonight and staying til Thursday.

Upon being told that Uncle Caleb was coming over tonight:

WOW DADDY, YOU'RE A GENIUS!

Earlier this week, from my 5-year-old son:

"Daddy, your car is as clean as a butt!"

I am unsure if this is an insult or a compliment.

Also from my son:

"I don't believe in Santa anymore"

"Oh no, why's that?"

"Because then I can be naughty and still get presents"

Kid's got it figured out. Although he woke me up Christmas morning screaming about how Santa came, so he must still be a believer after all.

The other day neither the wife or I felt like making an actual meal, so I just threw a pizza in the oven and we had that for supper.

Cue my 5-year-old while eating:

"Daddy, pizzas don't have necks."

I almost choked. But damned if the kid wasn't right.

I grew up in a very non- relgious house and my birthday is on Christmas. When I was little, I just assumed all the lights and decorations were because everyone was celebrating my birthday.

I always felt sorry for the kids who had birthdays on or immediately before/after Christmas. They always got ripped off, present-wise. At least all the ones I knew, anyway.

A couple of mallard ducks has taken a liking to our yard. We're thinking the female is going to build a nest. They've especially taken a liking to the birdseed that falls on the ground out of our feeder.

We have a 5-year-old son who loves ducks and all animals. My wife and I asked him "What should we name our new duck friends?" He thought for a moment, then answered "Microwave and Lightbulb!"

Yes, the female has been affectionately named "Microwave" and the male is "Lightbulb." The wife and I think it's hilarious because it's totally something our son would do.

So this was a conversation I had with my 5-year-old son today:

Him: Daddy, I have a joke for you for Father's Day!

Me: Ok, buddy, shoot. Let's hear it.

Him: Knock knock!

Me: Who's there:

Him: Lightbulb!

Me: Lightbulb who?

Him: (thinks for a moment) um.... Lightbulb microwave!

Me: (bursts out laughing from the randomness of it)

He is now telling everyone that joke, thinking he has discovered the pinnacle of humor.

A couple had an adorable 3ish year-old little girl in their cart today. I had just rang them up and they were leaving when all of a sudden the girl yells "I'M POOPIIIIINNNNNNGGGG!!!!" at the top of her lungs. I cracked up. I couldn't help it.

The parents remained calm and were like "all right, lets go to the bathroom" and took her in. It must have happened before.

4 year old is in the shower, singing. I move closer to the bathroom, so I can hear him. "Wiener, wiener, wieeeeeener! Wiener, wiener, wieNER!" I silently laugh, and go get Dad to hear the Wiener Tribute. We're being quiet, since I don't want him to stop singing. He then shouts, "Hey MOM! Can you hear my awesome wiener song?!"

7 year old brings home a completed worksheet from school. Was supposed to draw an animal that lives in the forest, and in the ocean [respectively.] I can't tell what he's drawn, so I ask him. He drew a Sasquatch, and a Sea Serpent. Of course he did.

My 7-year-old made up a song called "5 little penises".

My 5-year-old son adores Mario. Well, all my kids do, by my son especially loves Mario. He has no desire to actually play Mario games, but he enjoys building things in Super Mario Maker. A few days ago, he started telling me about some fan game he’s got in his head and I love every detail about it:

- The game is called Mario 1000
- There are 30 levels in the game, mostly filled with Goombas, Koopa Troopas, Thwomps, and Chain Chomps
- Bowser is loving dead, killed during Peach’s last rescue. The villain in this game is a giant spider with spiky legs named King Crow-vroom-vroom-vroom that shoots webs that in turn shoot laser beams, which shoot faster when he gets mad. He lives in the biggest castle.
- This giant spider boss is so dangerous in fact that he kidnaps Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina at the same time.
- Dry Bowser (skeleton Bowser) gets a small castle that is just a maze with a single mole as an enemy towards the end.
- There are a bunch of “bees that are nice and cute and don’t sting you” that live in a giant beehive and give honey to Mario and Luigi to heal them
- Mario and Luigi each start out with 90 HP, but their max HP is absurdly large. Mario’s max HP is 50,000, Luigi’s is 60,000, and my son’s is 90,000 because he is “more powerful than Luigi” (I... guess that means he's in the game too???)

I would legit play this game.

Shaving off your beard is one of the worst things you can do to a little child's perceptions. My uncle shaved off his decade-old full black beard when I was ten years old.

It took me years until I was able to reliably recognize him again when we walked past each other in public.

My Dad ALWAYS had a mustache. One day he hosed up shaving and had to shave it off and let it grow back. My grandma dropped me off at home right at supper time and all I could do was stare at this guy who I *thought* was my Dad, but I wasn't entirely sure and didn't want to ask. Everyone else was acting normally so I rightly figured it was him. But it was so weird how his appearance changed. I think I was 11 or so at the time.

My five-year-old son's favorite pasttime is playing with his 50,000 cars. He also likes to incorporate "Bad Guys" into his play.

That sets up the following conversation.

Him: "No, it's broken."

Me: "Oh no! Well I hope the driver can fix it!"

Usually when my daughter, who is 3, is up to no good, I'll grab her arm and tell her no. It's gentle and gets the point across, and she understands it pretty well. The other day, she wouldn't stay out of the pantry, and I kept getting after her to stay outta there.

At one point, I told her to get outta the pantry, or it was gonna be timeout time. She walked over to me, grabbed my arm and looked me dead in the eyes and said, "No." And went about her merry way.

The other day my daughter was trying to climb up on the counter and I told her "No! That is not safe and you're making poor choices. You need to get down."

This is actually a thing. My wife and I took an Alaskan cruise for our honeymoon. One of the stops was in Ketchikan, which is the wettest city in North America. It rains something like 270 days a year. Anyway, we took a bus tour of the city and saw an elementary school up on stilts with the playground underneath so the kids can actually run around outside.

edit: Not Ketchikan, and not under a school, but this is a covered playground in Alaska.
