“My Penis Burped”: Another Reason to Start a Kid’s Journal

Typically journals are for chicks. But I am here to tell you fellow noodads out there that its about time you start one of your own. The reason why a grown man should keep a journal is simple. It can be summed up by these 3 words: “My penis burped.”

Yes, those 3 words were uttered by my 3 year old son this very day. They were exclaimed with great conviction, general amusement, and an enormous amount of pride.  And I need to write it down so that I remember it 10 years from now.

I have the benefit of having this website to document everything my kids say or do. And I’m sure that when my kids grow up they will either love me or hate me for it. But whether you have a website or not it is also a good idea to keep a small journal to write these priceless gems down.

It doesn’t have to be fancy. It doesn’t have to be leather-bound or  have a lock on it. It can just be a plain ol composition book that you keep in your kitchen for times like these. My wife has started ones for each of our kids and even stuff 2 years ago seem like precious (and forgotten) gifts.

Oh… and the  whole “penis is burping” comment comes from the fact that my son farted while sitting on his chair and he felt the foul smelling air pocket escape from the front of his diaper. Priceless.
