I learned from this little sticker on my stereo that these guys can hook me up so to speak.


Too bad I'm married.

I learned that my dad and stepmom's overwhelming desire to become the "favorite" grandparents is getting REALLY old. I know you guys think it's some sort of competition with the other grandparents or whatever, but seriously. Enough already. We get it. You win, okay? Is that what you want to hear? You've outdone everyone else including her parents. Now let it go. It's over. Let it go before you end up getting her a magical flying Christmas pony that pisses hot chocolate and craps out marshmallows.

Christ, people. It's the kid's fourth birthday, not a ******* horse-themed bridal shower.

Materialistic bunch of dipsh*ts.

Can I borrow that pony coop? You know when they get it for her for Christmas. Sounds like fun.

I'll just say the kid wants two of 'em. They'll get an extra one, no questions asked. Problem solved.

And hey, it flies. Free shipping!

I have seen this before coop but luckily I don't have this problem. My in-laws don't even give my kids presents. They give them to their other grandchildren, but not mine. I guess that tells you what they think about me.

I learned that the quickest way to decide whats for lunch, when your standing in a mall food court, is to go where they have the shortest line.

I also learned that this holiday season so far has pushed me past the 170 pound mark for the first time ever. I'm a lanky doofus, so most of it is in the form of a saggy white gut.

Oh well. As long as I can still see my doogan, I'm good.

That also might be the quickest way to get a bad lunch or food poisoning.......if nobody else wants to eat there then why would you?

I learned that my wife is getting juuuuuuuuuuuust a bit sick of hearing me beg for a Mustang (the 'M-Word,' to use her terminology.)

I get the feeling she's on the verge of making me put a dollar in a big jar every time I say it.

I learned that I had two movies in a drawer from Netflix that have been in there since the day they arrived in May.

BTW I also learned my wife signed us up for Netflix back in May.

My 13 month old daughter learned to say "bye dada" and wave.

I learned after 5 kids it still chokes me up when they achieve their own milestones.
