Spotting Dad

It was a regular day.


I was just hanging around the house.


Suddenly, my brothers came up to me with smirks on their faces and made a deal.


They had a picture with them and told me whoever could spot dad in the picture would get to choose the movie for our next movie night.


I was elated.


Left to a certain someone, we could probably end up watching 'The Secret Life of Pets' or something more horrendous the coming Friday.


I glanced at the photo they had with them. 

It was a picture of a bunch of kids.

They had each picked a kid and were confident that their pick was the winner.


I glanced at the picture and saw a kid who was a dead ringer for my brothers when they were little.


I won the bet and had a great movie night.


In hindsight, it wasn't the fairest of competitions but hey!, I wasn't the one that came up with the idea.

The Copy Machine

  A big thank you to the lady who told me this story. She gave me a new view on babies thanks to an intriguing conversation. My little brother reached the stage that he copied everything that everyone said. As a result we were really, really, really careful. We once said poop in his presence and that comprised the majority of his vocabulary for one week! Back to the story. My mom always carried my brother with her to greet my dad whenever he came home from work. She always said "Welcome home honey" One day, as my dad came home, my brother broke free from my sister and I and ran up to our dad yelling "Honey! Honey! Honey!" at the top of his lungs. We were shocked. My mom was worried. My dad look faintly disturbed. How were we going to wean him off this?

The Sleepover Story

  'Mom, dad, can I sleepover at my friend's house next week?' 'Sleep-what? You can be with them all day, why do you need to sleep in their house? Why can't they come here?...' A lot more questions follow that. From the experience of teens, more often than not, parents believe that you should play out all day and come back to your house to sleep. It's not a bad philosophy.  You don't really lose out of not sleeping over at your friend's house. A huge pro is, when you are older, hopefully, you'll sleep in your own house most of the time, which is a great way to remain safe.
