Hobo Father

Shaving has always been a bone of contention in our household. It is, of course, my responsibility and, according to my wife’s skin, I don’t attend to it often enough. It’s hard to argue against such evidence. I’ve tried everything from the “I’ve got a tough beard but tender skin” defense to the “Sure, Honey, right after the ‘Deadliest Catch’ marathon” dodge.

My son also has tender skin because of heredity and cuz, y’know, he’s a baby. And it’s true that I can leave him a bit red after a vigorous bout of kissing, and singing the above ditty to him does little to relieve it.

    Ohhhhhh how I love this one. Do you have any kind of printing service set up? Because I would order it so hard. Or, if you don’t mind, can I just make my own?

  • My toddler sat in a firetruck, hung out w college girls, played in a gamelan, hob-nobbed w rich folks & got a balloon. A better day than me 3 weeks ago
  • 75 sippy cups in house, but only 3 lids. Should plant acorns in other 72, wait 50 years, then sit in forrest & try to be at peace with this 3 weeks ago
  • When my toddler counts, he always skips "one." Probably because he knows that one is the loneliest number. #ThreeDogNightFan 1 month ago
