Last Day

3 yr old: Last day is my birthday.
Me: What is last day?
3 yr old: Last day was my birthday.
Me: Oh, ‘last day’ is any day before today. Got it. Like yesterday. Last week, last month. How brilliant, last day means last day.
Me: What do you call tomorrow?
3 yr old: (silence and stare)
Me: Must be ‘next day’.

Doc Brown has bad aim

Doc Brown from Back To The Future has bad aim. It has taken me over 30 years to figure it out, but I woke up this morning with my own vision. Maybe because I have kids now and this is an ongoing battle in my house. My question to Doctor Emmitt Brown is, if not you, then who peed on the toilet porcelain to make it wet?

That was the day I invented time-travel. I remember it vividly. I was standing on the edge of my toilet hanging a clock, the porcelain was wet, I slipped, hit my head on the sink, and when I came to I had a revelation! A vision!

Super hero

Watching my son play with some Batman and Robin legos.

Me: That’s cool, Batman and Robin are finally together. Are they brothers or friends or do they just work together?
7yr old: They work together.
Me: What makes them so special?
7yr old: They are super heroes.
Me: What makes Luke Skywalker so special? Is he a super hero?
7yr old: Uh, no. He destroyed the death star.
