Rain, lightning, wild animals… and it was my kids that killed me.

This one should be narrated in hushed tones by the narrator of a nature documentary: “..and here we see how quickly the modern dad can move from in control to irrelevant…”

This is one that I think would have upset a lot of parents, and probably should have upset me. In context, though, it was just too funny.

Today’s tale features legendary lemons, the world’s best way to cook a hot dog, and a secret convent of nuns.

Note to self: the next time your darling son asks what you do best, lie.

You’d think that a little guy who is too sick to speak would be easy enough to beat at just about any game you could think of. Turns out that’s not so much the case…

I don’t think there’s anything that would make me angrier than finding out my son is being bullied. Unfortunately, there is surprisingly little I can do about it.

Momma vs son. Fast-talking vs. deep insight. Who do you think will win? Stay tuned. This story’s not over yet.

Not many of the daddytales have morals, but this one is clear: never underestimate the power of cute, particularly when a waitress is involved.
