Haha yes I could see that being confusing if you’re looking at the current pic 😁

Thank god I wasn’t that dumb, I would have died from embarrassment

I 100% agree so it makes this story even better.

A friend and his wife were at a social event and his wife was very early in pregnancy, they had only told their parents at this point. A 70-something year old man in a suit walks up to them out of the blue and says congratulations. They are taken aback because they didn’t even consider him referring to the pregnancy. He goes on to say he is a retired obstetrician and because of years of experience can just tell.

Ballsy move by the doc but he sure did know his stuff.

He was very embarrassed but it very well could have not been for him personally. Either way it was a dumbass thing to say!

He was very embarrassed and went for the adult diapers. My 17 year old gangly, awkward self didn’t help the situation at all either.

In highschool I worked at a pharmacy. 30-something man looks lost so I ask him if I can help him find something. He says diapers and I assume he’s a father so I stupidly say “the adult ones are right down there but you don’t need those ha ha, the baby diapers are down aisle 1”

You can guess the rest of the story…

5 y/o, 2y/o and a dog here, I feel your pain! 😆

You’re right, I forgot to include events that test parents’ sanity and mental fortitude. That would really break the parents that are skating through the events due to their natural athletic ability.

due to feedback, i ditched the AI image and replaced it with a stock photo. I’ll add an Edit note to the post to make sure its more clear.

no i understood! i started it with a ‘thank you’ but i could see how you could think that. I obviously am fluent in sarcasm or i wouldn’t have this website.

ty, i’d love to pay for custom art/photos for articles someday but the website is just run by myself as a side hobby so needing to use the free options for now.

I have a hard time finding free stock photos for my articles at times so sometimes I use AI. Apologies Edit: I’ll follow what the votes say and change the pic to the stock photo I was originally considering, thanks for the feedback

yeah for sure, it’s on the long list of DIY home improvements that I’ll get to someday. thanks for reading!

I wrote bonfire from personal experience! our house has a built-in firepit when we moved in and it doesn’t have a brick ring around so if we have a big enough fire it kills the grass around it. Someone in the comment section mentioned water balloons which is a good one i missed when writing this.

Korn!

So you’re saying you’re not attending the Creed cruise next year?!

What a neighborly thing to do, sue your neighbors for kids being kids. My 5 year old got 5 stitches in his eyebrow a few weeks ago at a friend’s house. Kids do stupid shit, that’s just the way it is!

You forgot guns!

i like the idea of the crochet ones. sent that to my crocheting wife to give it a shot, thanks!

oo gotcha I saw that around but haven’t seen it. I have 2 little ones as well so we’ll check it out together. Also, gotta love Bill Burr.

ya the article idea isn’t anything unique as i’m sure nearly everyone has made the connection between drones and helicopter parents but hopefully the contents of my article are unique and funny!
