Studid Dad Tricks

Apparently, I didn't start off as "The Natural". I had my fair share of goofs with the kids early on. For instance, is it really necessary to deceive fathers with the "buttons on the back" shirts to this degree? The apparel manufacturers got me a couple times on this. There's just something instinctive about buttons that scream "Front of Shirt!!". I've shown up on more than one occasion, proud that I dressed Kevin and had him all ready to go only to be met by laughter that his shirt was on backwards.


That's not as bad as when I put his diapers over his leggings though, I was real tired that day.



For my first son's Christening, I accidentally rammed my elbow right into the letters just before we served the cake. Whoops! I caught flak for the rest of the party. But I feel that I recovered with flying colors...

Now, tell me this wasn't landing right on my feet, nothing a few blueberries can't fix:

Finally, I used to take the kid out to get the mail or go for a quick ride in the car dressed a little skimpier than this. This is how my wife dressed Kevin in the winter. Remind anyone of Ralphie from "A Christmas Story"? I really got it when she caught us outside in the winter in tee-shirts.

So, the question is...Are dads really that clueless and moms just instinctively know what to do? Or do moms kind of gloss over these goofs and not publicize them? Are you guys really that good?
