Their Bad Mother

‘Cause it’s not as though there wasn’t enough mucus in my life already, what with the excessive spit-up and drool and all. There’s gotta be snot, too. Just to round things out. And not just baby snot, either (which I got up close and personal with last week; more on that in a moment). Mommy…

As has been well-documented in these virtual pages, Baby’s best friend and Head of Security (Toy Detail) has, for some weeks now, been Whoozit. Baby and Whoozit have been inseparable, and Whoozit has been an integral part of Baby’s governing regime. Whoozit stands guard while Baby plays with the Barnyard Posse, for example, and he…

To get that bad, bad taste out of your mouth, and to help you to purge your souls of the grim evil that is David Hasselhoff – which I take full responsibility for, having foisted it upon you in my last post – I offer this… Better now? Thought so. (Yeah, that was really just…

To which I am contributing by posting the following. I warn you – once you view this YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK. It’s kinda like doing acid, but not in the happy everyone’s-a-Muppet! kind of way (I know, I have a thing about Muppets. Muppets are cool!) This, this is like a bad acid trip,…

Sometimes, kids, you don’t have to read the book. What this means for you, my regular listeners – disregard my last post IN ITS ENTIRETY. I take it all back. Once I removed my head from the wall that I was banging it against, I went out immediately to hunt down and purchase Harvey Karp’s…

I was in school for, like, forever. So I know a thing or two about books. And I was in school so long that they let me teach people who haven’t been in school as long as I was, and so I know a thing or two about telling people that they must read books.…
