Are you an April Fools’ prankster?

March 31, 2009 |  by cool dad  |  question  |  1 Comment

With busy schedules for all three of us (Cool Baby has a good number of diapers to soil tomorrow), I don’t think that we will be involved in any April Fools’ pranks. At least, not on the fun, planning side of them.

Do you plan pranks on April Fools’? How have you been pranked yourself?

What makes you stay up way too late?

I’m watching 24 on Hulu. Cool Mum is blogging. It’s 11:01 PM and the boy is probably going to wake up at 4:30 AM again like he has the last few days.

We should most certainly be in bed. Does the Internet or other distractions keep you from going to bed when you should?

2 Questions for our readers–wife excuses and the juniors department

November 14, 2008 |  by cool mum  |  question  |  9 Comments

1. Our house was shown to a potential buyer recently. Our realtor reported that she seemed to like the house but needed to show her husband. I had to inform Cool Dad that this is one of the all-time classic lines we ladies use when we’re trying to conceal our lack of interest and feel bad for wasting someone’s time. This woman is NOT interested in our house. Cool Dad still holds out hope.

Ladies–have you ever used this line or a variation of it: “Okay, well I need to talk to my husband first”…or “Sure, just let me just get my husband to come take a look later this week” just to get out of a situation gracefully? Maybe it’s just me.

2. Now that I’m pushing a stroller, I feel a little weird going through the juniors section at Marshall’s or walking into Forever 21. But the alternative–the official women’s department–is just too much for me to handle. I usually take the easy way out and go to the Gap or Old Navy (those folks are smart) since my style can be defined as “trying way too hard to be inconspicuous/which clothes can I wear for the next 10 years.”

I always wonder, though…

Ladies (and men?)–When is it time for a lady to stop shopping in the juniors department/juniors-type stores? Is it when she gets married? When she has her first child? When she becomes a grandparent?

Opinions, please!
