ComethParenting and discipline. You know my wife and I always say to our kids that we hope that their kids will be the same as them and give them a hard time. I’m starting to believe that my kids are doing everything bad that I did when I was little. Jesus H. Christ, these kids of mine can be little demons sometimes. Tell them one thing and they do the opposite or they straight up tell you “no”.

I absolutely despise all bandwagon fans. Living in Seattle (about as far as you can get from the East Coast) you see all sorts of people wearing Red Sox and Yankees caps. When I ask those people if they have ever been to the East Coast, the answer I usually get is no. Then, when I ask them who plays on the team, 50% of the time I can only get one or two names.

Are you familiar with the people that use rolling bags daily? Are you one of those people? If so, sorry, I HATE YOU and your rolling bag. Rolling bags are meant for airports and nothing else. They are not meant to carry your laptop, newspaper and your brown bag lunch to work! Get a normal bag and throw it over your shoulder like everyone else.
