Like any serial, the title of a blog can frame its destiny.
Not that there’s a profound mission involved, but I agonized for some time over the title that graces this page. Wanted something that said “I’m Everyparent, With a Point of View.”
And hopefully cheese-free.
“That Dad” wasn’t my first choice (actually, it wasn’t my original idea), but it was the only one that stuck through each culling.
And actually, it DOES mean something else. My oldest, who’ll enter kindergarten in the fall, and my wife made up this nonsensical little ditty that they sang to my youngest, who’ll turn 2 in September, during diaper changes.
It goes thusly:
“That butt, that butt, that butt, that butt,
Sometimes it’s really stinky.”
Hey, it kept Junior happy. And with the slightest edit, it lives on as this blog’s legend.
Not bad for a goofy nursery rhyme. Even if it is a little cheesy.
