Because I have been on the receiving end of some very unfair assumptions and accusations, I find my heart often goes to the accused.

Mother-in-Laws…
My mother-in-law is one of my wife’s best features. If you think that’s rude, I’ll also add that one of my own best features is my mom.

The crazy thing is this happened while she was cleaning my teeth. Yes, I’m that dumb that I made the person with sharp objects in my … [Read more...]

As someone who doesn’t fancy being a hypocrite, I’ve been trying to figure out what it actually means. There seems to be three main ways it’s … [Read more...]
Are Your Parents Proud of You?
I have had more graduations than anyone I’ve ever met, and how does someone achieve this? By making a lot of bad life choices: (announcer) Do you want a great way to pay a ton of money for the privilege of doing endless hours of homework?
