How about a good match of “CHUBBY BUNNY”? Add one big size (not mini) marshmallow in your mouth and say, “Chubby Bunny”. Then add another big size marshmallow, and say “Chubby Bunny”. Keep adding marshmallows until you can’t add anymore and everyone rolls in laughter!!!!

Here are a few Dad Olympic events that I came up with…call it the Dad Pentathlon
Hey Dad,
Well, the battle continues. Remember last week I told you about the expensive fix on my car due to the destructive eating habits of a big rodent? Well, we set out the ‘live trap’ and caught a…cat.
After extensive questioning, the cat was released and the wire-gnawing bandit was still at large. Then I saw something that confirmed my suspicions. We were dealing with marmota monax, the common groundhog.
The family and I had been away from home for several hours and I had just dropped them off at a neighbor’s house for desert. Alone, I made the short trip home to let our dog out for a bathroom break before heading back to the neighbor’s home.

Amid all the claims for romantic prowess being peddled by film stars, rock stars and flat-bellied bachelors, the real superheroes of the bedroom go largely unacknowledged.
And so, this Valentine’s Day – a day when suburban mommies everywhere will be showered with construction paper hearts, overpriced chocolates and things from Victoria’s Secret that we will wear only once, if at all – it is time to extend some long-overdue credit.
I received the following email in response to last week’s Familyman Weekly accusing me (and others like me) of feminizing men.
To the Writer (Todd),
Though there are sometimes that this is relevant, most of the time it is not, and is a cause for undue pressure on the dads. I also see some organizations, though with good intentions, trying to make men have ‘women’s intuitions’ and ‘womanly communication skills’, and thus applying a standard that was never intended by God. At the same time they’re telling children they have been neglected if their Daddy wasn’t sensitive enough to them because he “didn’t care.” This gives them a crutch allowing them to ‘blame’ someone else and not taking full responsibility for their sin and shortcomings as individuals. The blame game makes for weak Christians and weak people.
Well, he’s here. Weighing in at 9 lbs. 8 oz. and a full 22inches long, Jedidiah King Wilson popped into this world on Tuesday morning at 6:33 AM.
It was a long, exhausting delivery, and it was only with her last bit of strength that my beloved bride pushed the baby out. When interviewed, Debbie said, and I quote, “Ouch.”
Everyone is doing fine, and although a bit weary and saddle sore, my wife is beginning to get her sparkle back.
Last week I asked you to send in your stories and pictures of your deer hunting trophies. This year’s winner of the Familyman Big Buck Contest is Greg Pekham. As winner he will receive $40 in Familyman Products. So take a look at Greg’s mighty big buck as well as some other big bucks, a few does, and one huge squirrel.
Our first contestant entitled “Suicide Deer” sent in by George. Appearently it ran into, and through, a plate glass window of a local store…ouch. Sorry, George, its a good story and plenty bloody, but you didn’t pull the trigger.
As turkey day approaches and we’re reminded to count our blessings and be thankful for anything and everything, it’s important to remember why we’re thankful. First of all, I’m biased a bit in that I believe we should be thankful towards someone (i.e. God… you know, he invented turkey and all the trimmings in the first place) instead of just roaming around in a tryptophan-induced haze of general thankfulness towards all.
Hey Dad,
It’s been a red-letter week here at the Wilson home. Not only did we celebrate my birthday, but we also celebrated the first snowfall of the year. As is tradition, we ate dinner at Long John Silvers (don’t ask me how that one started), and we gave each of our children a new pair of gloves, or a new hat, or something ‘snowy.’
As hard as it is to make time for celebrations, the important thing about them is that they create memories, and those memories bring strength, love and comfort years later.
"Think happy thoughts...think happy thoughts!!!!" ""Uh, Mom...don't you think this is going a little far to save a few bucks on electricity?" "I could use a diaper change here!" "Tastes like chicken." "I've been framed I tell you...I'm innocent." You…
