1.) If I should toot in the tub, she will look at me very shocked and say
“That was YOU!” and I reply, “yes it was”. No judgment, just observation.

Having a kid has turned me into a man

I rarely date. It’s mostly a matter of time and the rest is, how does one really date anymore? Since I have started dating one consensus of the people I’ve gone out with has been the same, I’m emotionally unavailable.

This Photo Friday assignment was Real Life and what’s more real than a child talking on a cell phone and eating ice cream. Multi-tasking begins young in this day and age.
