I'm not sure why guys like to carry knives around with them. But they do. If you give a guy a knife, he'll probably be happy. He'll likely show it off to all of his friends and they'll all ooh and ahh over it. Except their oohing and ahhing will sound more like grunting. This […]
I was going to open this post with a paragraph about how Bluetooth Speakerphones help keep dads safe on the road. After all, the less that dads "look down" or balance their phones precariously on their pant legs, the better. But then I asked my husband to edit the post and he said, "Dads don't […]
