Heck yes. Snowshoed with the dog this morning, after snowblowing, raked the roof, snowblowed again, and just ran with the dog. Everything is easier when it’s cold.


I have, however, screwed my neck and shoulder up with all this roof raking. We’re sitting around four and a half feet already, and apparently my workouts haven’t prepared me for this sort of activity. Ignoring it as best as I can, but not being able to turn your head without cringing sucks.

It just struck me, earlier today, how the company probably came up with the name;

“Honey, I’m about to pay for the website, but we still need a name for the company. By the way, I’m using the #### card, to buy the domain name. What’s the CVV? …. EUREKA!!!”
 
I think it is OK to lie to your kids. Now, in our house, we don’t do Santa Clause, for example. We place a high value in telling the truth.

But hear me out.

Since my kid started learning how to spell, and absolutely whenever she asks me how to spell something (she’s 12 now, and should know better… how to spell and not to ask me) I tell her “The Q is silent.” Just a random thing I made up when she was 4 and I have stuck with it.

So today, I started a new project. I am going to low-key begin to convince her that maybe she is an alien from another planet and Mom and Dad are actually government scientists studying how she interacts with people on Earth. I’m taking the approach that she should at least be open minded to the possibility, just in case she does someday learn it’s true. Just so she’s not surprised and all.

She asked me this morning if I could see a scratch near her eyelid on her cheek. She was sure she got scratched. I couldn’t see anything, and after checking in the mirror, she didn’t see it either. I concluded by simply pointing out, “You know, aliens heal really quickly.”

She asked, “What do you mean?!” And so, an idea was born.

“Daddy, why is it raining?”

Because God is crying, honey.



“But, why is he crying?”




…because of something that YOU have done.

Oh man, I'm just being a damn boob. I'm fine. It was more just a thought dump.

I actually am a little concerned for my wife though, she sounds like death. I offered to take the day off work and take care of the baby but she said no.
 
When my kids were little I told them there was a Santa Claus

I wanted them to get all into it

That way when they got a little older and they learned it was all a lie, they could recognize that they are capable of 100% believing in something just because everyone says it is so.

Part of it was enjoying the holidays in a traditional way, but I literally wanted to instill skepticism into these kids because children are gullible and some adults can be gullible too but I don't want mine to be.
