I admit it...

I'm not paying as much attention to prospects.

Your need to respond to all my posts is a little weird.

I still really like Andrew McCutchen.

You've spent too much time in California wine country.

Which makes me envy you.

I bought one of those "Try not to suck" t-shirts.

The money went to charity.

Which turned out to be an INCREDIBLY bad idea, because I won't wear the shirt in front of my kids, so it basically just sits in my drawer. 

Not well thought out, PenFoe. 

Still went to charity, I guess.

I'm still new at the dad thing, but why can't you wear it in front of the kids? Is "suck" a bad word? Maybe I'm just a bad dad.

I saw one at the game last night.  It was pink.  That is a good reason for not wearing it.

Because once your kid realizes that's a word that might make you or other adults even slightly uncomfortable they will repeat it ad nauseam until they find a word that is worse.

My nephew has a habit of saying goddammit...

Stub your toe? He says "Goddammit, Seano, Goddammit"

As a young father a Saturday afternoon came up when I was left in charge of my two eldest while mrs. flannj was out for a well deserved afternoon with girlfriends.
After getting them fed, laundry done, all the household list taken care of and the younger one down for a nap I proceeded to grab a beer and relax in front of the TV and I put on a video of "Goodfellas" for another watching while the older son played with his Tonkas and Legos next to me.

Mrs. flannj returned later that afternoon to her previously adorable son walking around the house experimenting with the new word he had learned that day.

Let me assure you that having your wife arrive home with her 3 year old son proclaiming "fuck,fuck,fuck,fuck,fuck,fuck" for an entire evening will test even the best of marriages.

My son does a lot of "scripting," because it looks like he's probably on the spectrum, and he's gravitated towards loudly repeating literally every swear word ever said near him. And because if the nature of scripting, he's basically saying it with the exact cadence and tone I've said them in, but pitched several octaves higher. It's great.

I snortlaughed. Mainly because I did pretty much the same thing once upon a time.

My redneck brother and his even more redneck ex-wife are in the middle of a very contentious custody battle, and because neither of them is smart enough to not trash the other in front of the kids they both pretty much get to hear my niece repeat whatever the other said.

My brother and I were trying to put together one of those battery powered jeeps for my niece and when we were having trouble getting the battery installed she said out loud "Cody fucked it up again". Not hard to guess where she got that one.

I recently told another driver behind the safety of my enclosed car to "eat my wiener" and James will bring it up every now and then. "Remember the time you said 'eat my wiener'?" and then he laughs and says "eat my wiener" until my wife yells at him.

I did an actual spit take reading this.
