David Brent 📚<p>When I was a kid, my dad used to say that for him, EVERY day was Father's Day. Single-digit me thought that was a silly thing to say because I was too young to recognize commercial marketing at work.</p><p>As a lucky dad to two amazing boys, I now understand what he meant. They are everything, and today - every day, really - is about them. </p><p>As it should be.</p><p>Miss you and your wisdom, Dad. You were the best.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FathersDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FathersDay</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Today</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DadThoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DadThoughts</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WeekendThoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeekendThoughts</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HappyFathersDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HappyFathersDay</span></a></p>
David Brent 📚<p>My kids don't generally like carbonated beverages, but recently the 9yo has developed a taste for Jarritos Lime Soda. We let him have some on occasion (less than once a month, and never a full bottle because it's basically candy). </p><p>He refers to it as "Hairy Toes." 🤣</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WeekendThoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeekendThoughts</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DadThoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DadThoughts</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Jarritos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Jarritos</span></a></p>
sam<p>nobody warned me that becoming a dad would cause my reaction to unnecessarily loud tailpipes on cars and motorcycles to change from mild irritation to a fiery white hot rage burning with the intensity of a thousand suns. <a href="https://social.lol/tags/bedtime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bedtime</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/dadthoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dadthoughts</span></a></p>

David Brent 📚<p>Unpopular opinion (at least, unpopular with the 9yo): the Sonic the Hedgehog movies are glorified Saturday morning cartoons with big budgets, special effects, and a big name actor or two. Their two hour run time is completely unjustified. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DadThoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DadThoughts</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WeekendThoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeekendThoughts</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GetOffMyLawn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GetOffMyLawn</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Movies</span></a></p>
David Brent 📚<p>Is potato chips on PB&amp;J a thing? I feel like I heard somewhere that was a thing. Anyway, I tried it today and... okay? I guess? It was good, but not life changing. Maybe I did it wrong, but I don't think so. It's not rocket science, after all. </p><p>I guess I could take it or leave it. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Food</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DadThoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DadThoughts</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WeekendThoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeekendThoughts</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PeanutButterAndJelly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PeanutButterAndJelly</span></a></p>
David Brent 📚<p>The 9yo does not possess what most would call discerning taste when it comes to food. He is, after all, only 9. 😉</p><p>Since about the age of 3, he has always enjoyed "The Daddy Cheese Melt." A product of desperation: take two joined Hawaiian rolls, slice them in half, spread some mayo, add two slices of American cheese, and then bake open face in the toaster oven for 2-3 minutes (just long enough to melt the cheese without making the bread too toasty).</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DadThoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DadThoughts</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WeekendThoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeekendThoughts</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Food</span></a></p>
