@GraemeE ...how about every time someone knocks on the door they are naked and have to be the first ones to answer the door. Worst part is that 10 minutes earlier you can swear that they were fully dressed...

lol oh my

We can keep going...for example: one of my nieces stuck her peanut butter and jelly sandwich into the VCR one morning when the parents were trying to sleep in.

@GraemeE I'm confused by this. Are you upset, are you proud, did you want to join the pissing contest?

[GraemeE]

@Tago-Mago a little of both.....

Edit: also for clarification in the measuring of urine amount/volume there were cups involved

[Tago Mago]

@GraemeE that sounds very reminiscent of my time working on the urological ward during my community service

[Oaktavia]

I thought he was talking about golden retrievers

[GraemeE]

@Oaktavia nope

Human puppies

@GraemeE dude I can't wait to introduce my kid to The Cure

Family movie night suggestion:

I’ve got an 8 yr old girl & 12 yr old boy, nobody complained!! They even both liked it more or less, and I did too.
No people/speaking, so it was cool in that regard as well…

It has begun...although this one will be too big for a few years lol. Do any of you dudes buy denim for your little ones?

@Oaktavia I was excited for things like this too. Unfortunately having kids is equal parts nature and nurture, not one or the other. Lucky me… my kids love Taylor Swift and You Tube like every other fucking kid. Despite my singing them The Smiths greatest hits every night at bedtime. Perhaps that’s the culprit.

Two songs wasn’t long enough for them to fall asleep?

@Oaktavia hell yeah man, this was my oldest’s jacket when he was just a little guy. Now he’s four and wears nothing but Transformers t shirts. Maybe I’ll get him an Optimus Prime back patch and style him out again

One thing I’ve learned that as much as I try, kids will be kids…they wear what we buy them, until they don’t. Things I would have loved to have had when I was a kid often sits in a drawer…

[Matt]

Yeah, it’s a bummer but you get over it.

Before I had kids I was like “They’re gonna do this and they’re gonna like that.” but in reality they just do whatever the fuck they want and it seldom makes any sense.
