Good to hear. I am excited, but with all the talk of 2 years of baby poo flying from every orifice, I start to get…worried. Somehow, when I hear you give sound parenting advice, I get something like…hope? No, that can’t be it, you don’t have a Shepard Fairey inspired poster made of your face yet.

Okay, let me sum this up:

Having kids is the most awesome thing EVER.

It’s just that the stories are fun to tell. From a no-kids perspective, they sound terrible. But from the with-kids perspective, they’re just “what you gotta do.”

When we were close to having our first, people kept giving us the shit-eating grin and saying, “Haha, you’re never going to have any freedom” and “Haha, catch up on your sleep now!” and “Haha, you’re fucked!” But don’t listen to those assholes. Just don’t. It’s way cool.

Yikes and more yikes. The Mrs. is due in about 5 months and more and more of these shitsplosion stories keep popping up with everyone. How come none of this is portrayed on my other digital parenting book- the television? I am looking forward to having a child, but not diptheria. How does all this stuff not make you crazy?

You really don’t want to hear someone say, “This goes in the you-know-what.” Especially a doctor.

Great story, perfectly written — this goes in the you-know-what. “…took everything I had not to tell…” yeah — your story had me shouting at her throughout your tale — ! I don’t even have kids and it was still pitch-perfect. Love your not-too-smirky-but-clever-and-twisted-POV. More!

Definitely looking forward to the teen years. I thought I was awesome, but my mother has told me stories I didn’t even know happened. That can’t be good.

What is it with anti-gravity dumps up their back? And why do they mostly happen in public places with poor facilities. I recall a particular incident when we were on a train. Yeesh. People keep warning me about the teen years (which are fast approaching around here) but I’m pretty sure they have list actual shit involved.

This one time, I took off my son’s diaper and he started peeing right in his own face. My wife had to save him because I was laughing too hard and couldn’t breathe.
