Cool Parent Points

Posted on November 19th, 2009 | 8 comments

Cool Parent points.
If you’re a parent, you know what those are.

My Sexy Daughter

Posted on November 18th, 2009 | 24 comments

They squirrel their bodies like crazy, cover [...]

Teen Daughter – Curfew, Shmurfew

Posted on August 7th, 2009 | 29 comments

My teenage daughter has her driver’s license, her own (used) truck, her own cell phone, and her own set of friends. In other words, I’m starting to not see her much lately. She’ll take off on a weekend afternoon to hang out, or engage in Nerf-gun wars. She’ll take off on a weeknight to study [...]
