Funny Dads

My dad is the nicest guy you'll ever meet. He's also really funny and laid back. I think we have similar personalities and people say I look a lot like him (to which he normally replies, 'Lucky devil!' - told you he was funny.)

I wonder what kind of parents Helen and I will be. We've discussed it a few times and decided that she will be the loving but firm no nonsense-type mom and I will be the wanna-be-hip-but-am-actually-dorky, funny dad, like the guy on the TV show 'Modern Family.' Our friends tend to agree.

Of course if there are times I need to step up and protect my family, especially from outrageous cell phone bills or guys named Derek with moustaches who drive Mustangs, I'll be ready. That is all.



*UPDATE* If Norbit is a girl, this is what will happen when she's 16. Teenage boys in the year 2027, be afraid. Be very afraid.

  1. OMG! You are definetely going to be the one they go to for stuff. "Dad, can I have $20.00 for the movies?" or "Dad, will you buy me that Lexus...?" And I can totally picture you chaperoning the dances, and bustin a move while your kids are staring in utter embarassment. Love it!
