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.

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

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.

Bad Dad: size matters

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

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.

Father First Idea #19 — A sure thing

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.
