Stuff My Kids Have Done To Me

Inspired by another blogger out there, I started writing down some of the things my kids do in notes on Facebook.  That's not exactly the ideal way to keep doing something like this; I got tired of it pretty quickly.  So I've made a blog to do it.  Allow me to plagiarize myself to better explain what I'm doing here.  The following were the first two paragraphs of the first note I created.

So there's a blog or Twitter account or something out there called (keeping it cleanish for any smallish eyes here) "S*** My Dad Says." It's strange and funny or disturbing things that this guy's older dad has said to him. Thinking about that, I realized kids tend to do some of the same kinds of things...they blurt out odd or inappropriate statements, they have no filter between what they're thinking and what they say, and they cut loose with some honesty sometimes that just blows your mind. Invariably, it's pretty hilarious looking back at it. At the time, though, it's almost certainly not very funny. You other parents know what I'm talking about.

All that rambling is my way of saying I'm going to try to write down some of the funnier things my three kids say and do. I'm only going to start with a couple today, and I won't be too surprised if I just kind of forget about this for weeks at a time, but I want to give it a shot. I'm calling it Stuff My Kids Have Done To Me because it's not always just what they say...it's what they do, say, and how it just cuts you right to the core.

And that's pretty much it.  I'll copy the three notes I've created so far as my first three substantive posts, and I'll go on from there.  Thanks for reading!
