Father of the Year Moment #598: 🎵I Play Pokémon E-ver-y day🎶

Me: (suddenly) Get in the van!

Son: Why?

Me: Team Rocket is invading a Pokestop and we have to stop them.

Son: What? Really?

Me: Do you want to be home alone?! Van! Now!

We stopped them together.

*If you are not playing Pokémon go with your child, you’re missing out!

Father of the Year Moment #789: Sir Swag the Second…

Here ye’…

Here ye’…

I will give my first-born boy his first hair brush! He will be knighted in a formal ceremony and given his weapon to be used only for good. Those with melanin know how big of a responsibility this is.

Go forth son, and slay!

Cut. The. Cord. Son!

Father of the Year Moment #23 – Equal Representation

Anything he can do, she can do…

👧🏽🧒🏾 🏀 👦🏽👶🏽 ⛹🏽‍♀️⛹🏽‍♀️⛹🏽‍♂️⛹🏽‍♂️

Representation matters.

Cut the cord, Son!

Cut the cord, Son…

Cut the cord, Son…

Damn, son. Cut the cord!

Father if the Year Moment #444 – The Secret of the Ooze

I introduced him to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon (90’s version, of course), and now he won’t stop singing “Teenage nin-nane Ninja Turtles!” (The only verse he knows) while swinging a rubber band cord.

Father of the year moment #111: psych!

For the first year or so of My Daughter’s life, we had her convinced that rice cakes were cookies. Thanks to Our Daycare Provider and her grandmother (both of whom can bake way too well), we had no such luck with #2. But Oedipus –now he is convinced.

Look at him, he thinks he is getting away with murder.
