I'm from Ottawa and I'm here to help.
Not sure which is worse: having to bring Twin A to a pharmacy in Gatineau for a strep test because Ontario sucks, or the knowledge that I'm gonna have to go back at least twice more next week.

Adventures in potty training: baby pooped in the potty unprompted!

He then tried to dump it in the toilet, got overwhelmed by the stink, and barfed...on the floor next to the toilet.

He then slipped on the barf and left a shitty ass print on the floor.

But goddammit, a win's a win.

Walk into the gym and they're blasting Limp Bizkit and Korn.

Then it hits me that the U17 class across the way weren't even born until well after these bands peaked...

THEY. WERE. DOING. THIS. WITHOUT. PAY.

NOAA’s hurricane hunter pilots (and Kermit The Frog hanging from the control panel) fly into Hurricane Melissa.

Extraordinary bravery, saving lives.

Twin B keeps saying New York Wankees, and I'm absolutely not correcting her.

For school Open House, Twin B's class each picked a word important to them, the teacher put them all on the board, and parents got to guess which was their kid.

Twin B's word: responsibility. "Because the class doesn't function unless everyone is responsible!"

...is my kid a narc?

In celebration of Franco Ontarian Day, the school gave each kid a kazoo.

In related news, we're switching the kids to the English district, and I'm buying them memberships in the People's Alliance of NB.

What they don't tell you about these things is that they're basically a way to monetize parental stress eating.

So far we've eaten $18 worth of emotions.

Had to shuck a package of Oreos to make dirt for Baby's construction-themed cake.

Used the guts to make a Vingituple-Stuff Oreo.

I guess they called it Buick because that's the sound I made when I saw this Android Auto implementation.

I am once again begging car companies to hire just one single UX designer.

Baby: "I put my pasta on different plate."

Me: "Why, buddy?"

Baby, deadpan with hard eye contact: "It funny. It on different plate."

Help, my baby is the reincarnation of Norm MacDonald.

The only way you didn't go crazy from computer is if you know what really whips the llamas ass
Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13
The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

I can get an airport beer at 5:30am, but gelato before 10 is socially unacceptable? C'mon United, do better.

15 years ago I was in Orlando for a space shuttle launch that ended up postponed after a week of trying.

Today this Falcon 9 launched the day I left the Cape, after three days of delays.

...maybe it's me?

Visited the last McDonald's in the world to serve pizza.

They also had pasta and Philly cheesesteaks for some reason?

Legitimately have muttered this to myself at least once weekly for the past...

24 years?! That can't be right.

Even fighter pilots can't get away from Teams meetings.

Also, if I had access to an ejection seat during conference calls, I can guarantee I wouldn't last anywhere close to 50 minutes.

(Preface: everyone is fine now)

Protip: if your kid has an EpiPen, make sure you know exactly where that fucking thing is at any given time. Searching the front hall closet for the right diaper bag when shit's going sideways is not fun.
