Do you get a lot of your news from the onion? Ha, ha! We haven't had too many moments like this, at least that I'm allowed to say of, because of the settlement(s). Thanks, again.

You had me going with "cynical optimist", but thanks for the correction before I used that line in public. It's good to see some honesty on the internet, if you're telling the truth... Bill, Yes he is sir. Too much so. gbsp,

This reminded me of reading a story from The Onion where the author had people write in examples of childhood misconceptions about all things sexual-related. One of them was a little girl thinking the word "dildo" was equivalent to calling someone silly. Thankfully, it was Christmas time and the family was at the mall when they all found this out.

What's the big deal. Some people blow "penis" conversations out of proportion and I am here to tell you that I am not one of them. I think your daughter's early association with a penis will help her later in life. It has certainly has helped me in mine. On a related note, based on your writing, your son's penis appears to be just as much an extrovert as your daughter is. Long live his penis! Insincerely, MISTER MANN Penis, penis, penis!

Hello, my friend. I’m glad you can enjoy my sporadic whinings of my life with the age-challenged.

A.W.,
Your time will come. Your time will come.

G-Mom,
The sad thing is that this story isn’t as surprising as some might think. Not that that is a bad thing.

Matt,
No videos of my kids on youtube… unless there’s money in it. Stinky pants better cover up, if he knows what’s good for him.
