In my time wasting serious Internet research of
blogs, parent-blogs specifically, I've noticed that the best of them
seem to have some things in common:
1. Long posts, with dialog.
2. Use of caps.
3. Use of that word that rhymes with "duck".
4. Poop.
Case in point: This post
of Mr. Nice Guy's (can you go wrong with a title like
"daddypoopy"? Instantly, you know where you are with this
one). Here's a small snack from the post: mr and mrs nice
guy are asleep, dead to the world in their connubial chamber. it is,
unfailingly, somewhere between 6 and 6:30. out of nowhere a child
starts yelling. "MOMMY? moooooooooooommy! poopy! DADDY POOPY mommypoopymommypoopy! poopydaddy!" then
whoever's turn it is to take the morning shift drags his/her sorry ass
out of bed and goes into the baby's room. let's say it's me. i walk
into her room and the child lights up with glee: "DADDY! IT'S A POOPY!"
Daddybloggers,
take note! We mommybloggers have it somewhat easier, as all
we have to do is talk about how big our asses are getting, what
footwear our spouses have on, the new eyerolling capabilities of our
tweens, or what we drank at playgroup yesterday, and we have a
post! Daddybloggers, on the other hand, seem to need to balance
humor with sensitivity without actually being Sensitive.
A much harder job, if you ask me.
