This week we’ve talked a lot about fatherhood. Here’s a guy going for Father of the Year: I did my best but I think I would have drawn a line in the sand here …

More funny fatherhood later.
If you think that was a WTF moment, check out this one from Jordan Hawk.
Do you ever have days when you think: there has to be more than this? Here’s your answer.
If you won’t take that for an answer, here’s 18 really good questions to ask yourself. Gulp.
While you’re being transparent with you, ask yourself - how would it be to be transparent to EVERYONE? People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
Ever gone into a library and had a Stephen King moment? Here’s the story of 3 haunted libraries in the US.
On the subject of books: this guy takes the covers of old kids books and gets creative. Very funny.
Finally: here’s some more fathers, doing their best. Their best is frankly hopeless. I relate.

My humble contribution to fatherhood.
Even if you don’t buy it, I’d love you to link there and like it!
Those videos are great! The dad in the first one is too cool! And the ones in the second? They remind me of my baby brother, and the way he handled his son’s diapers. You know, the ones that DIDN’T smell like roses? He would put cologne on a tube sock, tie it around his mouth and nose, remove the offending diaper…and hold the lower half of my nephew under the faucet in the bathtub. He never owned up to gagging, but I know my brother. Cleaning out a pumpkin for Halloween makes him gag. The diapers did, too.
I have a confession to make. I used a mask and snorkel - the method is outlined in the book. My wife even got a picture (it was in the days before YouTube.) I toughened up later!
Guys are just funny when it comes to not-so-pleasant diapers. I will admit though, I kind of cried once while babysitting. What should have wound up in the diaper, wound up halfway up the toddler’s back. The kid had pretty long hair, and a pullover shirt on. NOT an experience I want to repeat. At least not without surgical gloves and a perfume soaked mask.
I think this is why firehoses were invented!
