Sugar Cereal

With his mom and sister away this weekend, camping with the Girl Scouts, my 5-year-old son asked me for sugary cereal for breakfast this morning. When I said "sure", he immediately followed it up with a, "Okay, but don't tell mom." Wait ... isn't that MY line?! Who's the bad parent here?!

New Song

That awkward moment when you discover a brand new song that you really, really like and the 10-year-old wanders in while you have it on and starts singing it because she already knows all the words because it was released like 2 years ago, Dad.

Another Wake Up Call

This morning's 6 AM wake-up call was brought to me by my 5-year-old who gleefully reenacted his favorite scenes from Jurassic Park — which basically entailed him roaring and then running and screaming — up and down the hallway outside the bedroom, all while blasting the theme music on my iPhone.

Game

Watching my son interact with strangers, especially women. Always chatting them up. At 5 he's got more game than I've had my entire life.
