By MAD21

There is a lot of funny stuff out there on the web about mom's and kids, and every now and then something good and funny comes along about being a dad. And I found a great one last week. Enjoy:

YOB: #22. Dress Up For Fast Food (Part 2)

By Beth

Don't ask where this one came from. Somewhere in our sick, twisted brains we came up with the idea to dress up and eat at a fast food restaurant. Now, when I say dress up, what comes to mind? When we planned this one, I think Lara and I were both thinking much more elaborately dressed up than what actually happened. But clothing budgets aside, I think we both realized that prom dresses at 30 would be a little depressing. So we both had our Sunday best on and Lara's parents joined us at Wendy's for dinner one night.

I'll admit to being a little disappointed in this one. We didn't get nearly the kind of reaction we were hoping for. In fact, no one really paid us much mind at all. We looked too normal. The only thing that was odd was that we brought our own vase and flower and we took pictures. We simply looked like we were on our way home from a wedding or something.

YOB: International Adventure 2010 (Part 4) Istanbul

I was so excited to get off the bus. My first footfalls in Asia were walking briskly towards the Sultan Ahmed mosque. Most Americans know this as "the blue mosque" due to the interior design that incorporates blue Iznik tiles.

The line to get into the mosque was quite long. I amused myself with some kittens playing in the courtyard. When I got to the front of the line, I was given a bag to put my shoes in and was inspected by the modesty police. They decided that I was showing an acceptable level of skin and let me pass. Several of the people on my bus were given shawls and/or wraps to cover their bare shoulders or knees. (Please keep in mind that we had been briefed about this the day before.)

Life Is Funny: Rewind

By MAD21

Even though the TV is not a dominate force in our household, the power of TIVO has definitely had an influence on our lives. We had evidence of this last Monday evening.

Driving along in the car on the way to soccer practice, our oldest daughter spotted horses at a farm on her side of the car. As is often the case, our youngest didn't see the horses because we had already gone by.

In her frustration to see what her sister had pointed out, she calls up to the front seat, "Daddy? Could you please hit rewind?"

If only we could...
