Stop & Shop just redesigned their Crispy Rice cereal box which led to a revolt by the boy in my house who ONLY eats Crispy Rice (oddly he thinks Rice Krispies taste bad but this generic is great).

a side by side blind taste test yielded a final verdict: he likes the new stuff!

only thing is, I duped him and put new crispies in both bowls, fixing the outcome but hoping to prove a larger point.

the rage response was legendary.

lesson? don’t be clever, just be crispy clear.

Dad and daughter go for 100, then 1,000 nights of bedtime reading. and they don’t stop there…

He’s a dandy daddy. Not sure how well that works out for his staff, but the example he sets is a good one.

Note to self: when your kid tells you he’s going to barf, believe him.

my 8-year old son to our 12-year old girl neighbor: “why were you feeling sick yesterday?”

“ummm… it’s girl stuff. hard to explain.”

“did you eat your lipstick?”

“yeah, let’s just leave it at that.”

Scored a stuffy for my thrilled little girl from one of those dropping-claw-in-a-box-of-impossible-to-grab-toys at the local pub and was shocked by my success. Then realized the pink tiger was adorned in black skulls. A Pyrrhic victory if ever there was one.

My sister-in-law texted me today asking for my daughter’s dress size. Did I know? Nope. Will I find out tonight? Yup.
Now, about the boy…

A recent writing exercise: my five-year-old daughter likes to ask how you spell words and then decorates the letters as she goes along. Why she’s still caught up in last year’s presidential election is a mystery to me.

The guy at the bike store said these make your bike go faster. Sounded like common sense to me. After a full battery of tests, it’s confirmed: pink and purple streamers enhance bike speed by up to 13%.
Believe it.
