I started turning grey at 23. At the ripe young age of 50, my hair is completely white. Many people have mistaken me to be my kids’ grandpa.

Anyway, tomorrow is “eat lunch with your parents” day at my boy’s school. He doesn’t want me to come because

”People will think you’re my grandpa. And it’s supposed to be eat lunch with your PARENT!”

 

 

 

[edit] Yeah, I died  dyed a little when he said that. But still funny.

Fixed for how how he wanted you to respond.

In the early 1970s when my oldest son was about four years old, the wife & I took him down to the old Austin Mueller airport where the Goodyear Blimp was on display. 
The public was invited to park on surrounding streets and walk onto the airport grounds off to the side away from the runway area where it was tethered to the ground.

We went that morning along with hundreds of other families - and as we walked across the grassy grounds approaching the blimp it got bigger & bigger. It really was an impressive sight, and my son gawked wide-eyed in awe loudly exclaiming two or three times, “Gawd damn, gawd damn….”  while several people sterted staring at the profane little kid.
I was holding in the laughter, but Mrs. Brat was mortified and tried to pretend she didn’t know that mouthy boy.

Living in South Florida as a kid,we would see the Pompano Beach version of the Goodyear Blimp floating around that it wasn't ever a big deal.

It was a rarity to see it in Austin. 
IIRC, it was here to make an appearance above Memorial Stadium as a part of a televised football game.

Enjoying reading through this thread.

Back in 2014 when our kids were 6 (son) and 4 (daughter) we were in LA for a long weekend. One morning at breakfast we told the kids we were taking them to Knott’s Berry Farm (it’s an amusement park) after breakfast. 

So, we’re in the car heading down the highway and about 10 minutes into the drive our son says, “Why is it taking so long? I thought we were going to Not Very Far.”

Now that kid is 17 and starting the college application process.

Wanna know more about the helicorpion. That sounds badass. Have him draw us one.

I'll see what I can do. 

He and his friends are currently really into a Roblox game called Fisch where you obsessively fish for thousands of different species of - you guessed it - fish.

I just discovered this creature is correctly spelled as helicoprion and it is indeed awesome. The doomlet is on to something...

My kid plays this. Fucker quit fishing with me in real life but goes ham on that game. He also retired from soccer and plays that online as well. I get it though - it’s not hot inside.

"[Iowa player] Josh Dix has tiny balls."
"I don't think you know what his nutsack looks like, [Doomlet], and I don't want to talk about it at dinner, either." 
"Just spittin' facts, mom." 

What's great is he has Mrs. Doom (Doomletmom?) saying "nutsack" at the dinner table.

We were eating in the den watching the Illinois/Iowa game, but yes, he's certainly influenced the household's level of discourse.

He's currently salty at us because we have definitely refused to buy him a hang glider for his birthday. 

The facts that we live in Chicago and he's turning eight years old are unpersuasive - "I could be the only eight year old who does it!" 

Out of the blue at dinner tonight, "So when are you guys getting me my hang glider?"

Good question.

He got in trouble at his after school program today because he and his idiot friends were using a brick fragment to "play basketball" in the gym and one of his shots scratched (but thankfully, did not actually break) the backboard.

I had a stifle my laughter a few different times when sternly lecturing him about how this is a rookie-level "stop and think, what comes next?" kind of fuckup.

*she is not bald - has lovely, thick, curly, auburn hair.

Auburn is a kinda reddish right? Maybe Doomlet got the crazy from mom.

Our Ring camera caught a girl ding dong ditching our house.

I went outside and found this note taped to our welcome mat.

Whoever did it ain't wrong. My son has longish lashes and really cute dimples. But we couldn't identify the girl on the recording, and don't know of any girl who might know our address except for a classmate who also lives in our neighborhood, but she doesn't like him.

She’s a daywalker - a bit darker than that. 

He's a fine blend of both her and my brand of crazy.

There are two good things and one bad thing about having the veins pop out of your hand. It looks cool and means that you're probably pretty strong, but it provides aim-assist for mosquitoes.

On a mission trip in South Africa a few years ago, the local kids thought it was the coolest thing. They would just trace the veins on my hand, pushing them in.

He has an old phone of ours that he uses to play games over Wi-Fi - no SIM card or cell connectivity. 

I just noticed that this picture of a game glitch in which a horse appears to be eating the ass of another horse is his wallpaper/lock screen.

Getting back from vacation, I told my kids to hand over their school and personal iPads because they’ve had way too much screen time on the plane ride back.

Son: Wait. You can’t take my school iPad yet. I have to check my work emails.

 

Yeah, poor example that mom and dad set even though we were supposed to be on vacation.

I played "Something for Nothing" by Rush to my daughter, and she asked, "Is this you playing the bass? It sounds like one of your bass lines" and I've never had a nicer, more sincere compliment than that.

When my daughter, Baby Llama, was barely two years old, Mama Llama and I were driving with her from our home on the Gulf Coast to Tuscaloosa to spend the weekend with my inlaws.  I was driving. Mama was shotgun and Baby was directly behind Mama in back sucking a bottle, making a little bubbly intake sound.  We were on US 43 crossing a bridge on a rather long upgrade.  A vehicle was poking along ahead of us.  I swung out to pass. I  looked to be sure I was well past the vehicle before moving to the right lane, noticing a large AU decal in lower left corner of their rear windshield. As we overtook the car, the bubby sound suddenly stopped abruptly. From the back seat, “UGH! Auburn.” Mama looked at me with a broad smile on her beautiful face, and we bumped fists silently.  That kid, now only 41, has always made us proud.
