The Noodad Ouch Awards

Posted on 05 17, 2006 under The Manual by Noodad | Comments
You"re a man. A manly man. You open beer bottles with your teeth, and crush boulders with your bare hands. We are the manliest of men: we are dads, dammit! But even megadads like us, have our weaknesses. No superhero, after all, is without their kryptonite. There are many things, that we endure as noodads, that just kick the living crap out of our bodies after awhile. That is why we have created the Noodad Ouch! Awards.

The Ouch! Awards honors those everyday aches and pains that inflict our noodad bodies. We get these ailments because we go above and beyond to perform our daddy duties. They aren"t glory injuries like black eyes. No, these are the underrated ailments. The ones you forget about until you writhe in pain the next time you get it.

With animals you have it easy. You see Fido every day but the day he is foaming at the mouth you have an idea he is all out of whack. But these little Cujos, AKA your kids, transform on the inside not the outside. They won"t start foaming in the mouth until they have knocked you on the ground and you are balling your eyes out because they kicked you in the nuts. Read the rest of this entry »

Goodnight Songs

Posted on 03 03, 2006 under The Manual by Noodad | Comments

Whether you can sing or not, it is pretty cool to have a special song to sing to your kid every night before they go to bed. It doesn"t matter what it is as long as you sing it every time. What does that do? Well it makes you Pavlov and your kid a dog. After a few months or even weeks, every time your kid hears the song they will associate it with sleeping. Choose carefully. You don"t want to be singing Rump Shaker every night. Read the rest of this entry »
