I wish I was quick on the draw (no pun intended) like some entrepreneurs.  I gotta get me one of these T-shirts!  Speaking of making a buck, does anyone know where I can get one of those cardboard signs that they use to stand on the street corners?  When Mrs. G’s severance package is up in a few weeks, we will probably need it.  I’ll be known as The Genuine Panhandler.

I’m not sure where the toddler got that saying, but it always amazes me when he comes up and starts out by saying that to me. Today, the bad news was:

…there is a moth on the light.” ~Genuine Toddler

He tends to make these really dramatic events. The funny thing is, it reminds me of the Calvin & Hobbes comic strip.

Actually he looks a lot like that little guy. In fact I think they all could use a tiger for a friend. Yes, I could definitely start a remake of “My Three Sons”.

My daughter is totally goo goo ga ga over Vanessa Hudgens who we all know has been in the news recently for appearing naked on the Internet.  I really don’t know what the big deal is, because Hudgens, better known as Gabriella from the movie High School Musical, is always naked these days in my house.

Gabriella was a doll my daughter received as a birthday present and like every other doll in the house, she is quickly stripped of clothing. We were glad that she has left the idea of being like Britney Spears, but now I’m not so sure about wanting to be like Gabriella.

I was at 11,000 feet when I decided to call my wife on that fateful day in September.  I immediately knew something was wrong in her voice.  I’ll never forget my feelings on that day.  That’s a promise.

My tribute to Joseph Vilardo can be found in my archives.

My children will find a way to waste, destroy, break, ruin or whatever other verb you can imagine when left unsupervised for a few minutes.  Today, no exception.  This full 64 oz bottle of bubbles (if you were my relative that bought this for my kids, sorry for the wasted money, but then again, I cursed you for buying it in the first place) was used to make a bubble bath in the pool.  Yes, Our wading pool has now become a bubble bath for the kids. 

I guess I shouldn’t have asked them if they could see underwater now.  I’m such a meany.

Only the cool kids can get away with wearing their swimsuit backwards over a swim diaper.

I wish he hadn’t pulled all the blooms off that side of the roses however, that is so not cool!

Mrs. G and I were watching the movie Ultraviolet the other night, and she mentioned that she wished she had a body like that again.  My quick response was something about not having beautiful children.  After four kids, I think she looks just fine.  I was looking through some posts over at the Celebrity Baby Blog and I just had to show her what I saw.

Yes, that is Ultraviolet.  My challenge to her is 4 kids in 6 years and then get back to looking like this without airbrushing.

Talk about an impossible mission.

Genuine Boy:  I want to invite Cody to my birthday party.

Genuine:  You told me the morning that you and Cody got into a fight over your football.

Genuine Boy:  Yeah we did but that doesn’t mean he is not my best friend.

Mrs. G:  Herein lies the difference between men and women.
