I learned it by watching you

So I have been rather curious. For those people who grew up during the 80's and came of age in the 90's (insane in the membrane) time period. How do you explain drugs to your kids. Do you lie? or do you tell the truth. Let's bring back the PSA's from the 80's and see how they would work today.

I would definitely love to see an updated version of the classics done with celebrities.

Can you imagine this done by snoop dog?



Fun stuff to think about.

No dumb deed goes unpunished.

Let the lesson be learned that no dumb deed goes unpunished. Today I took the boy for the majority of the day. We took a tricycle ride over to trade joes (grocery store) this afternoon and I thought "hey I need to buy a gallon of milk... And the boy can take it in the back of his trike." Well needless to say kids trikes are not designed to carry a gallon of milk. As I walked home. I thought "Hey what would make this easier." COLDSTONE ICE CREAM. Well my son, let call him Master P, well P decided he needs to walk and carry the ice cream. What could possibly go wrong? Well 2 year olds don't walk in a straight line let alone very well, he fell down. He thought this was funny so he kept falling down. The ice cream opened up. I ended up carry a gallon of milk, melting coldstones, pushing a trike and walking with P (he did not want to ride.) the rest of the way. I am hoping as reward I end up with popeye arms.

Well in the end I got home handed off the boy and took it a little easier. I admire single parents. But P still thinks I am awesome so I am glad.

Bad parenting maneuvers begin at home.

When I found out I was going to be a dad I honestly thought there was going to be some major light that would anoint me with parental knowledge on the birth of my son. ... I know really dumb. But you have a good dad or at least a great one from your perspective, you figure it has to be something magical.

Well I did learn something. My parents had no clue what they were doing. You do the best you can. My mom openly admitted all the bad parenting maneuvers they committed when we where kids.

ex. Putting my brother in the basement when he had colic. This was in the Northeast where you had to go out to the garage to get to the basement.

After having my son cry in my ear as a newborn. I can empathizes with this.

Well this is the beginning of my anonymous public journal of funny experiences as a new dad, living my life as an artist, and keeping my mind straight. I hope I will make you laugh. Or at least provide a bit of entertainment.

Hope you like what I have to say.
