From The Incredibles
Big Daddy has been a stay at home dad off and on through the off color children's life.
I remember early on coming home from working night shift and
finding my children
sitting in the living room with Big Daddy
chanting,
"Jerry, Jerry, Jerry!!!"
omg
yes it is true
when other kids were watching sesame street and Mr. Rogers
Big Daddy was exposing the off color kids
to
teen age pregnancy and who is DA baby daddy
trailer trash fist fights
and various off color things that most adults should not be exposed too.
They figured out early that I did not like it
because he quickly taught them to chant
"Jerry, Jerry, Jerry"
when I would walk through the door
and they all did it just to get my reaction.
Now he did have a few good TV moments,
he'd pounce off the couch as the lion
and dance in the floor as the tin man
when
Off color son became obsessed with "OZ" as he called it
or
"the wizard of oz"
He'd play barbies with off color daughter
and
he taught them
"what not to do in life"
by exposing them to numerous episodes of Cops, Judge Judy and Maurie.
Off Color son
could count by sevens and threes
early on in life
because everything
became
:down, ready, set:
Touchdown!!!
and
off color son would have to count up the score.
When they entered school,
he'd come in from his out of town travels and
go to the school to eat lunch with the off color children
after a bit,
off color children requested that he not be allowed to come...
seems
when he was there,
their table would get on the red cup
which means
they would lose some of their recess
off color daughter and off color son
swear it was Big Daddy's fault.
He'd pretend to be mentally challenged in the grocery store
and
yell
"pretty woman" and "faygo"
now it didn't take too long for
off color kids
to realize
"that just wasn't right"
and
didn't want to shop with him anymore.
Off Color Kids are now teens
and
they still never know what Big Daddy will do
who he will moon,
or what he will say,
they roll their eyes,
forewarn their friends
and
occasionally
join in the off color humor--off color daughter more so than off color son.
He is a great dance dad,
"yelling to off color daughter--"do it Big"
He is probably the only person to almost get thrown
out of the middle school
basketball games
for yelling too loud and being way too passionate about
how well
off color son is playing.
During football season,
he could be seen running up and down the field--wherever the team was--that is where you could find Big Daddy
really
all you had to do was listen.
Underneath all of his
Jerry springer, judge Judy, Maurie Povich antics,
he is a bundle of big heart
who is always in our corner--even when we might not want him to be---
Yes----
He has embarrassed all of us,
but he does makes us laugh,
and makes life fun and unpredictible
and
then
embarrasses us some more
most of all
He always loves us
and
that is what is most important after all.
He is the bestest off all "off color baby daddies"
cause he is ours!
We love you Big Daddy
Happy Baby Daddy Day!!!
the rest of the off color family

It sounds like he and Daniel would get along great. The year Daniel was a stay-at-home dad was the time period my kids fell in love with zombie movies. I wasn't thrilled about that, but they do have a bond that is special and can't be broken. That's something the three of them share that I'm just a little left out of, but I don't mind! He also took them on bike rides, hikes, and all sorts of things I would never have thought of when I was home. I tease Daniel all the time, telling him he's a better mom than I am.
Hope you all had a wonderful Father's Day weekend!
Hubby is great with our children- so great that it makes me feel jealous that they worship him to that extent. Parenting requires two roles- the one of the bad and the one of the good cup, I feel it as my duty not to be the second good cop.
LOL he sounds like Coach! too funny!
coach has been teaching spec. ed for 15 years and he has gotten quite good and being "special" whenever the mood strikes him... oh my
of course, i may or may not have done things before in an effort to embarrass those with me...
