Tales From the Dad Side – The Games Kids Play
Whenever there's free time to fill, most kids opt to play "House" or "Store". Not my kids. They prefer something a bit outside the norm.

Gather 'round everyone and let me tell you yet another tale from the mind of a father.
Let me start by saying this won't be a blog complaining about how I don't get enough "me" time. I mean, God forbid a MAN complain about not having the time to do what he wants to do. Since all we do is go to work, come home, lay on the couch, and demand dinner while wondering why the house hasn't been cleaned yet. Am I right ladies, or am I right? We're such pigs. If we weren't around, you'd have way more time to gossip and say one thing while meaning something else (AH-HA! It seems the shoe has found itself on the other foot).
Playtime is rarely simple when it comes to my son. Take for example the other night when he asked me to bounce on the trampoline with him. We couldn't just jump up and down, that wasn't exciting enough. No, we needed props.
Tales from the Dad Side is a concept I've had in my mind for awhile now. The basic premise being that from time to time I'll share a story (a "tale" if you will) about something my kids have done, something I've done or learned as a parent, or my random thoughts on parenthood in general. When these thoughts will show up on this site depends on how often they show up in my head. It could be once a week, twice a week, monthly, bi-monthly, who knows. When they do happen I'll be sure to share them on our Facebook page so you'll know another delicious nugget of humor is available for your consumption. Onward we go...
