If there’s anything we here at DadWagon must concern ourselves with, it is our incredible fame and the corresponding impact it will have on our children, spouses, and Western Civilization. Let us consider this week on the site in the context of those weighty matters.
The Tantrum, as is often the case, was the inspiration for our analysis of complex issues. Should we allow the noxious glare of our flaming famey fameball-ness (to coin a phrase) to singe what little hair our youngsters have?
Matt, predictably, seems to think so. Then again, he sees nothing wrong with using images of his daughter to make a bad joke a point about popular culture. Heavy is he who wears the crown of fame. Christopher, however, thinks differently. His child should not interfere either with his renown or his work. Nathan, meanwhile, wanders the desert, playing journalist and fleeing ghosts. He thinks that his fame is good for children. His wife does not. Theodore was too stoned to mount much of an argument one way or the other. Unlike the straw that stirs the drink, he is the confusion that puzzles the reader here at Dadwagon.
Lest we forget:
- Christopher won an award and we posted an image of a peepee.
- Matt was bitchy.
- Theodore was a stinker.
- Nathan wished he was David Halberstam.
Have a nice weekend. Or don’t. Your kids will still need to be fed, dressed, and entertained.
My daughter could handle fame! She’s 8 and she claims to be as fierce as a wet badger. Yeah… don’t ask me!
And her twin brother is no shrinking violet. When the local horny Christian Lady’s Group had popped by to see if I was still single… oh, and if I had found Jesus (J-Man keeps dodging me), Little Man came downstairs and told me he needed ‘another low down hooker’. (High fives for everyone!)Though he was referring to the actual hook you hang things on in his room, he knew what he was doing!!! All six of my kids could handle fame, because they are all bad-ass little dudes and dudettes. Except at bed time… or kitchen cleaning time… but mostly bad asses!
Ok, I’m going to make an admission here. I haven’t been keeping up very well on the goings on of the dadwagon. Thus, this post is a mass of confusion for me. Setting that aside though, I’m impressed with your ability to turn a phrase. Well, hopefully I’ll pay closer attention in the future so I can make a more intelligent comment. Sorry. 🙂
